Thank you very much for using our services.

The winners have been selected for the “Success Stories by Open Badge Recipients, 2026” competition, based on our call for applicants between April 20 and May 24, 2026!

As the use of open badges as certificates of success in various qualifications and as proof of completion of courses has been increasing in a wide range of fields, we held this event to collect success stories of badge recipients who were happy to receive their badges and how they successfully promoted their badges on social networking services, etc., and to introduce them as examples of how they are used by other recipients. The purpose of this event was to introduce the badges to other recipients as examples of how they have been used.

This year's submissions included not only stories about increased motivation and confidence gained through earning Open Badges, but also many examples of recipients leveraging their badges to create new opportunities and achieve tangible results.

We are delighted to see that Open Badges are serving not only as a source of encouragement for learning but also as a valuable asset in people's careers and everyday lives.

Following a careful and rigorous review process, we have selected 11 winners across the Grand Prize and various category awards. The winners are announced below.
