PUBLICITYConsent Required
Finalist/winner boundary: Finalist or winner status is determined only by the governed award process. Public voting, sponsorship, payment, media coverage, popularity or relationship with FI must not automatically determine the outcome.
Award credential boundary: An award certificate, badge or recognition credential—when FI chooses to issue one—is an award/recognition record, not an academic degree, professional license or unrelated learning credential.
04 · RECOGNITION CENTER

Recognition can continue beyond one award cycle.

Recognition should be evidence-based, permission-aware and separate from academic or professional credential truth.

Recognition boundary: Recognition, editorial coverage, finalist status, award status and FI credentials are separate outcomes. One does not automatically create another.
