- Core Principles
Every record title in the Lanka Book of Records must adhere to the following principles:
Measurable: The record must be quantifiable. It should be based on a single variable that can be measured (e.g., fastest, longest, heaviest, most). We do not accept records based on subjective qualities like “most beautiful” or “most generous.”
Breakable: The record must be an activity that can be repeated and challenged by others.
Verifiable: The claim must be provable with clear, independent evidence. Claims that cannot be verified will not be accepted.
Standardizable: The record must be able to be performed universally across Sri Lanka, without being dependent on a specific location or unique event.
Safe & Legal: The record attempt must not cause harm to people, animals, or the environment. It must be conducted in a way that is compliant with all local laws and regulations.
- Types of Records
The Lanka Book of Records will consider applications for the following categories:
Human Feats: Individual or group achievements of strength, endurance, or skill (e.g., most push-ups in a minute, longest time balancing a ball on your nose).
Creative Arts: Records related to art, music, or performance (e.g., largest painting by a single artist, longest continuous performance of a traditional dance).
Engineering & Innovation: Achievements in construction, technology, or design (e.g., largest model of a Sri Lankan landmark made of recycled materials).
Culinary: Records related to food and cooking (e.g., largest serving of a traditional Sri Lankan dish).
Community & Cultural: Records that highlight Sri Lankan culture, history, or community achievements (e.g., most people participating in a “Sarong” parade, fastest time to weave a traditional reed mat).
- The Application Process
All record applications will follow a two-stage process to ensure fairness and accuracy.
Stage 1: Proposal Submission
Submit a detailed proposal via our website or mobile app.
The proposal must clearly state:
The exact record you wish to set or break.
The proposed rules and how the record will be measured.
The date, time, and location of the attempt.
Our team will review your proposal and, if it meets our criteria, we will send you the official guidelines for your specific record attempt.
Stage 2: Evidence Submission
After your attempt, you must submit all required evidence to our team for verification.
The evidence checklist will include:
Official Witness Statements: Two independent witnesses (not family members or participants) must be present and sign a statement confirming the details of the attempt. These witnesses should have relevant expertise if possible (e.g., a timekeeper for a speed record, a land surveyor for a size record).
Video & Photo Evidence: Clear, high-quality video footage of the entire attempt from start to finish, as well as a series of still photographs.
Written Report: A final report summarizing the attempt, the result, and confirming that all rules were followed.
- Verification & Certification
Our team will review all submitted evidence. This process can take up to 4-6 weeks depending on the complexity of the record.
If your evidence is approved and your record is verified, you will receive an official Lanka Book of Records certificate.
Your record will be permanently listed in the digital archives of the Lanka Book of Records.
Note: The Lanka Book of Records reserves the right to decline any application or disqualify any attempt that does not adhere to these guidelines. Our goal is to celebrate incredible achievements while maintaining a high standard of integrity and safety.
