The current record is MoM-z14, a galaxy at redshift z=14.44.
Its light traveled 13.5 billion years to reach us, and is now 33.8 billion light years away (space expands)
It appears as it was 280 million years after the big bang
Resolves YES if a galaxy with a spectroscopic redshift above 14.44 is reported before Jan 1, 2028.
Resolution follows the List of the most distant astronomical objects - Wikipedia - confirmed objects section. If that entry shows z>14.44 and cites a published paper or preprint, this resolves YES.
Photometric candidates don't count, even if listed. If the Wikipedia entry is disputed or looks edited without a source, I go by the cited paper.
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.
