  • 1.  Issue With Badge Form

    Posted Fri August 29, 2025 12:10 PM

    I'm trying to apply for the IBM Influencer badge from this link (there is a hyper link there to complete the form for IBM Influencer):

    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/kathryn-schwab1/2024/07/12/ibm-champion-program-badges

    But when I click on the link to fill in the form, I'm sent to this message:

    How do I apply for this badge?

    Regards,

    Elitsa

    If this does not work it may have changed and you would need to call support, in the meantime try this:

    Is this the self-nomination form? The link seems to be down from where I am.

    Hi Elitsa,

    AFAIK - as an IBM Champion you simply report all your activities via

        http://ibm.biz/champ-report

    and the badges (all 3 of them) are issued automatically during the year (I already received all 3 again for 2025).

    Sometimes the badges need some time - so just wait and see.

    HTH and kind regards,

    Daniel

    Hello @Elitsa Popova I will make sure the post is updated with correct links. Thank you for posting and bringing it to our attention! 
    Meantime, as an IBM Champion (and Rising Champions too) - all you need to do is report your activities.  :)   

    Please report all your activities using this link
