IS IT A RECORD?
IS YOUR RECORD ATTEMPT CAN BE A POTENTIAL ELITE WORLD RECORDS ACHIEVEMENT?
APPLICATION CHECK LIST WILL BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS ELITE WORLD RECORD
EWR is always against to the wastage of your time through coming up with a record that is not acceptable.
For this, we suggest you to go through necessary check list when you come up with an attempt or a
proposal that purely comes under a new category. Keeping this kind of situation in mind, EWR is offering
few examples of records that are not acceptable by EWR in a few areas that are currently very popular.
MUSIC
Record Attempts for listening to music or the radio for the longest duration is not considered by EWR as
this is not possible to prove that the participant is concentrating and listening to the music. There is no
category to recognize the shortest song or most songs written, but it should be in broader spectrum like
Most people singing. We are not considering any claims in the jam sessions or improvisations. It is highly
tough to judge the musical proficiency and quality in this aspect of performances.
PLANTS
EWR is not considering any category for small plant or small fruit or small vegetable. Challenge is always
about encouraging growing larger. Here, it is quite imperative to remember that a seed is the smallest one
of this variety. We do accept some categories like Biggest brinjal grown, Biggest tomato cultivated and
other kinds of similar nature.
QUALIFICATIONS – QUALIFIED-UNIQUENEESS/UNUSUAL/ORIGINALITY/ONLY
EWR do not accept records regarding acquired qualifications. This is highly impossible to quantify
qualification. Here, each country has their own academic methods for awarding a qualification and
therefore standardization would be highly impossible to make a comparison. Generally, unusual, original,
uniqueness and luck are highly impossible to quantify and ruled out from EWR categories for the record
attempt. The EWR records categories are always open to be challenged at any time in the future. So,
there should be a possibility to compare these future aspects objectively and fairly with the record. There are no categories with EWR such as ‘only’. A record is always subjected to future breakability. Also, it
should be measurable and comparable too.
TRANSPORT
EWR do not endorse events that are with driving between two specific points with least amount of time
limitations. As these events could result into damage or hurt for participants and spectators and involves
safety and legality issues.
ANIMALS
EWR will not entertain claims in the following areas:
- Record Attempt based on the harming or killing of animals or living things.
- EWR will not entertain or endorse speed record for traveling over huge distances over horse back
as it concerns the welfare of the horse or any other animals involved.
- EWR will not entertain any lightest or heaviest pets claims.
- EWR will not entertain separate category based on the breed and it would be an absolute record
mentioning particular animal like “longest ever dog” or “oldest cat living” or “Oldest horse living”.
- EWR will not entertain any endurance records such as ‘longest time living with snakes’.
ART
EWR will not be in a position to evaluate the quality in the case of artwork, small origami or articles (unless
readable through a microscope) as it becomes highly tough to judge the smallest item in the world for a
particular object. Here, EWR will study the largest objects in the world for the comparison sake.
HUMAN BEING
- EWR do not accept any health related record attempts like individual living long live with Cancer,
HIV/AIDS and diseases of such nature.
- EWR do not consider or accept any Record Attempt or claim for beauty as this is not an objectively
measurable item.
- We do not accept faster or quicker or longest birth categories.

varying severity and it is highly impossible to compare between each variety patients.
- EWR does not recognize ‘gluttony’ claims as this involves consumption of mass amounts of food.

known as elephantiasis.

some other.

Any claim on language or literature should be global in nature.

standardize levels of writing quality, legibility, neatness etc.
