IBM Champions

I noticed on LinkedIn that Champion badges for 2024 are currently being issued. As we look forward to the announcement of the IBM Champion Class of 2025, could you confirm if the badges for the 2025 class will be issued in January 2026? Additionally, could you provide an estimated timeline for when the announcement of the 2025 Champion class is expected?

Last year (2024) most of the LinkedIn posts appeared on January 30th - so I think it's around that time, when the class of 2025 will be announced. 

[Edit] I you are nominated, and have received the 2024 badges (Influencer etc.), you should have received a Mail from IBM right now, describing the next steps. If you are new to the program, you will receive another Mail from IBM with an NDA, which you have to sign, to be able join the program. Right now I didn't receive the NDA - so let's be patient.[/Edit]
