Declaration of Authorship
All badge application submissions must be accompanied by a Declaration of Authorship specifying:

– your role in the evidence material if it was created as part of a team project;
The use of AI
The use of AI to generate content for submission(s) in Gamebadges badge applications is generally not allowed.
AI in this context refers to generative artificial intelligence, tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, DeepSeek, Adobe Firefly, GitHub Copilot, and Google Gemini, without excluding other comparable technologies.
Not Allowed
The use of AI to generate original content for the evidence is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:
- AI-generated text
- AI-created visuals, models, or code
- Any other creative or technical materials produced by AI
Allowed (with limitations)
AI tools may be used in a minor role, for ideation and support tasks such as:
- Grammar and language correction
- Brainstorming (e.g., ideating character concepts, mechanic ideas, or narrative prompts)
- Structuring work (e.g., organising sections or planning the structure of documents)
Failure to provide a complete and honest declaration will result in the rejection of the submission and may lead to disqualification from future applications
Using Teamwork Outcomes in Your Application
Collaborative and team projects are acceptable as long as the applicant’s individual contribution can be clearly identified and assessed against the badge competence description. Evidence that does not show individual competence cannot be accepted.
Failure to provide a complete and honest declaration will result in the rejection of the submission and may lead to disqualification from future applications
