Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if TIME magazine names exactly one individual human being as the 2026 "Person of the Year" upon its official announcement.

This market resolves to NO if TIME chooses any of the following for the 2026 title:

• Multiple named individuals jointly (e.g., 2020's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris).

• A group or collective archetype (e.g., 2017's "The Silence Breakers", 2014's "The Ebola Fighters", 2011's "The Protester").

• An object, technology, or abstract concept (e.g., 1982's "The Computer", 2006's "You").

• An individual explicitly paired with a collective movement or symbol in the official selection title (e.g., 2022's "Volodymyr Zelensky and the Spirit of Ukraine").

The primary resolution source will be the official announcement published on TIME.com, typically released in December 2026.
