Guinness World Record has stated that Hilda Baci’s record had sparked flurry of applications worldwide.
The record team disclosed this on their official site on Wednesday, 19th July, giving some tips on the process of application.
According to GWR, Chef Hilda’s record of the longest cooking time by an individual, with the record of 93 hr 11 min, has spurred many persons around the globe to attempt different records.
GWR also urged interested applicants to follow the application process and wait for approval from the team before attempting any record.
The statement reads in part, “Hilda Baci’s epic record for the longest cooking marathon has sparked a worldwide flurry of applications.
“Social media has been flooded with people taking on all sorts of marathon attempts ever since she first burst on to the scene with a record of 93 hr 11 min.
“Unfortunately, many of the attempts won’t count as there isn’t actually a record for the thing people are attempting to do.
And while some are existing record titles, the people taking them on haven’t gone through the motions of sending in an application and being sent the guidelines.”
They also mentioned that, every record has guild lines to follow to ensure that “everyone is in the playing field”, adding that people who go ahead with their guidelines may likely not meet all the criteria.
In a bid to let everyone get a chance, they highlighted tips on what is needed.
A representative from our records team explained: “We advise anybody interested in achieving a record to submit an application and wait for our Records Management Team to approve your application BEFORE attempting the record.
“Once the application is approved, you will receive the full guidelines which list all of the specific rules and evidence requirements for the record. If you do a record attempt without first reading the guidelines, you might do it wrong, or not capture all of the evidence we need, meaning we cannot recognize your efforts with a Guinness World Records title.
“If your proposal is not something we can monitor as a record, our Records Team will explain why and may suggest alternative options for you where possible.”
