Grand Gold Award Mark
The Grand Gold Award mark is reserved for entries that receive the highest distinction within the IBA framework. Its use must remain exact, restrained, and directly connected to the official record.
Meaning
Grand Gold Award is reserved for entries with exceptional strength across the IBA review dimensions. It may be communicated only when the official result notice, certificate reference, and registry record support that level.
Do not use the Grand Gold Award mark for a Nominee or Gold Award result. Do not use it as a statement of world ranking, approval, testing, licensing, or compliance.
Approved Wording
Use the exact award year, field, level, and entry name from the official record. When space permits, include the registry direction.
Place the mark where it can be read clearly and supported by the exact result statement. Do not use it as a decorative background element.
Use on the recognized entry page, awards section, media page, or profile. Avoid site-wide use when the recognition applies to one entry.
For product entries, the mark may refer only to the product, variant, formula, or SKU stated in the official record.
