Did you know that you can nominate anyone for an honour such as an OBE, MBE, CBE or Knighthood?
There are two routes by which people enter the process:
• nomination by an individual or a public/private sector organisation familiar with the work of the candidate. • submission by a government department that has identified a candidate doing good work within its sphere of interest.
Honours lists are published twice a year at New Year and in mid-June on the date of The Queen's official birthday.
Who can be nominated?
Anyone can receive an award if they reach the required standard of merit or service, and honours lists contain a wide variety of people from different backgrounds.
As the honours website say’s, anyone can be nominated, but only exceptional people are honoured. If you want to see your candidate on the honours list, make sure your nomination has what it takes to make it all the way to Buckingham Palace. Achievement comes in many forms but honours committees are looking for someone who has made a difference in their field of work or community.
Honours can be awarded for all sorts of work - paid or unpaid - but your nominee must still be involved in the activity for which they are nominated.
Before you make your nomination, ask yourself the following questions.
Has your nominee:
• made a difference to their community or field of work? • brought distinction to British life and enhanced its reputation? • exemplified the best sustained and selfless voluntary service? • demonstrated innovation and entrepreneurship? • carried the respect of their peers? • changed things, with an emphasis on achievement? • improved the lot of those less able to help themselves? • displayed moral courage and vision in making and delivering tough choices?
