Use the exact issued result
Use Nominee, Gold Award, or Grand Gold Award exactly as issued. Do not upgrade, abbreviate in a confusing way, or combine levels.
Wording Guidelines
Approved Language for IBA Recognition
Use the correct level, field, award year, entry name, certificate reference, and registry direction whenever IBA recognition is presented publicly.
Approved Wording Builder
Build the Right Recognition Statement
Final wording should match the official result notice, certificate reference, and registry record issued by IBA.
Name the recognition field
When space allows, include the relevant field such as Beauty Products, Beauty Brands, or Beauty Salons & Centers.
Include the award year
The award year helps audiences understand the timing of the recognition and supports registry accuracy.
