Do you think you could break a Guinness World Record?

[ASEAN NOW News]

To become a record-holder requires determination, extraordinary skills and commitment.

Before applying for an existing record, you will need to check the current information and make sure you’ve got what it takes to break the record.

 

 If you are suggesting a new record idea, they recommend that you spend some time searching their current records to see what may already have been achieved in your area of expertise.

 

Every newly approved record idea has to be significantly different from existing records and demonstrate a completely new skill.

 

Being the first to suggest a record does not immediately qualify for acceptance, with around 60% of applications for new records being rejected.

 

However, they are always looking for new exciting ideas to reflect the world’s diversity.

 

Check the What makes a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record title page and familiarise yourself with our record breaking criteria and policies.

 

Each record title must fulfil all of the following criteria. They must be:

 

Measurable – Can it be measured objectively? What is the unit of measurement? We do not accept applications based on subjective variables. For example - beauty, kindness, loyalty.

 

Breakable – Can the record be broken? Our record titles must be open to being challenged.

 

Standardisable - Can the record be repeated by someone else? Is it possible to create a set of parameters and conditions that all challengers can follow?

 

Verifiable - Can the claim be proven? Will there be accurate evidence available to prove it occurred?

Based on one variable - Is the record based on one superlative and measured in one unit of measurement?

 

The best in the world - Has anyone else done better? If your record suggestion is new then Guinness World Records will set a challenging minimum requirement for you to beat.

 

Invite an adjudicator

 

There's nothing quite like the presence of an Official Guinness World Records Judge to create a sense of prestige, attract media and enhance the emotional connection between your brand and audience.

 

Is applying for Guinness World record free?

 

All existing record titles (those already in our records database) are free of charge through the standard application process. If you want to apply for a new record title (something that you cannot find in our database), a non-refundable administration fee of £5/$5 (plus VAT) applies.

 

1.     Register for an account

2.     You will receive an email with an activation link. Click on the link, and you will be brought to a dashboard page.

3.     Click on the green ‘Apply for a record’ button.

4.     Search for the record that you want to break.

5.     When you find the record, click the ‘Apply Now’ button. If you cannot find the record you can apply for a new one by clicking ‘Apply for a new record title’ at the bottom of the page.

6.     Complete the application form.

 

Maybe you too could become a new Guinness World Record holder as well.
