This market will resolve to "Yes" for the person or entity that is officially declared TIME's "Person of the Year" for 2026.

The selection is determined by the official announcement made by TIME magazine.

If TIME names a group or concept as Person of the Year (e.g., "The Guardians" in 2018 or "The Silence Breakers" in 2017), any listed individual who is explicitly named as part of that group and pictured on a relevant cover will resolve to "Yes." The individual must be explicitly named as the Person of the Year or pictured on the/a relevant cover if they are associated with the group or concept winning. A listed outcome that is conceptually related to but not synonymous with the winner does not resolve to "Yes" (e.g., if "ChatGPT" wins, "AI" does not resolve to "Yes" and vice versa, as they are not synonymous).

If multiple persons are named as co-winners, all listed outcomes that match any explicitly named co-winner will resolve to "Yes."

If TIME does not announce a Person of the Year for 2026 (and instead uses variations such as "Entertainer of the Year" or "Hero of the Year"), all outcomes will resolve to "No."

If two or more listed outcomes are tied or co-winners, each of those outcomes will resolve to "Yes."

This market resolves based solely on the final winner(s) of the "Person of the Year" title. Being named as a "Finalist," appearing on a "Shortlist," or being a runner-up (e.g., "Person of the Year Finalists") does not constitute a "Yes" resolution.

Only the individual or entity ultimately crowned as the "Person of the Year" will resolve to "Yes." If a listed outcome is named as a "Finalist" but is not the ultimate winner, that outcome will resolve to "No."

If no Person of the Year is officially announced by December 31, 2026, all outcomes will resolve to "No."

Later changes to the designation occurring after the initial official announcement will not be considered for settlement purposes; the initial official announcement governs.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from TIME magazine.
