Castlebridge InspireTHE LONGEST
DEBATE //

1 May – 30 May 2027

Apply to take part

Beating this record takes hundreds of people — on the benches, in the witness chairs, and everywhere around the room for thirty days and nights. Tell us what you could do and when. This is an application, not yet a commitment: we come back to you as the roster is built, and everyone who takes part is named in the record submission.

Participant selection and roster discretion

Applying to The Longest Debate is an expression of interest, not a guarantee of participation. Because this is a Guinness World Records attempt demanding a highly controlled environment, Castlebridge Inspire (CBI) applies strict vetting.

Roster balance. Participants are selected at the sole discretion of the organising committee based on scheduling needs, thematic balance, and the specific shift requirements of the 30-day roster.

Ethos alignment. All participants must embody the “Argue2Inspire” ethos. CBI reserves the right of admission and may decline any application, or remove any participant from the roster at any time, if they are deemed unsuitable for the constructive, civil and safe environment required for this record attempt.

Final decision. All selection decisions made by the Castlebridge Inspire organising committee and the independent adjudicators are final.

What would you like to do?

Pick as many as you like.

Want to support or sponsor the attempt? Businesses and organisations offering funding, equipment, accommodation, catering or services: email longestdebate@gmail.com and we will come back to you.

When could you be there?

1 May to 30 May 2027, round the clock. Rough is fine; the roster is built later.

Age

Guinness World Records set the limit at 16. At 16 or 17 we need written permission from a parent or guardian before you take part.
