Yes.

IIRC, the requirements are same as for getting the four-star RIPEness (http://ripeness.ripe.net) rating:

Having an IPv6 allocation
Visibility in the Routing Information Service (RIS)
Having a route6 object in the RIPE Database
Having a reverse DNS delegation set up

Done all of that, got a t-shirt (see the bottom of https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ipv6-ripeness-how-to-reach-the-stars).

Yes.
