WORLD RECORDS

Today in 8th grade digital voices, we were discussing what kind of record we wanted to break.
One idea was the longest uncomfortable chain, if you have any more ideas, post them to the blog.

Submitting a World Record

So you want to submit something you did to the Guinness World Records corporation.  Good luck.

Before I start: Here's a really handy resource on the official Guinness website.

The first thing you'll need to do is contact Guinness before you break the record you're trying for. Contacting them afterward will net you several issues; for one thing, if you came up with the record, they may not accept it. It could all be a waste of time. For another thing, they need proof that you broke the record; when you call them ahead of time, they tell you what form of proof to give them. If you come up with your own method to prove it, they may not accept it.

After that, you'll just need to send this proof to them. They can be reached at:
  • Guinness World Records Limited
    184-192 Drummond Street
    3rd Floor
    London NW1 3HP
    United Kingdom

    OR:
  • Guinness World Records North America, Inc.
    Suite 902
    45 West 45th St.
    New York
    NY 10036
    USA
