This is a market on who will be named as Person of the Year by TIME magazine for the year 2022. TIME's Person of the Year 2022 is picked by the newspaper's editors and is expected to be announced within the first two weeks of December 2022.

If the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is named as TIME's Person of the Year for 2022, this market will resolve to "Yes". Otherwise, it will resolve to "No".
