Q: What does a Knighthood or Damehood nomination look like?

There is no right or wrong way for a nomination to look, every nomination is unique and should accurately reflect the individual it recommends.

When examining a nomination the honours committees are looking for evidence that the nominee is deserving of a knighthood or damehood. They are expecting to be informed about the individual roles, contributions and achievements of the nominee in a way that allows them to make an appropriate and informed decision. This includes dates, charitable contributions, professional achievements, voluntary roles, community achievements as well as genuine third party support from individuals who can provide further information about the nominee’s achievements. 

When Awards Intelligence professionally drafts a nomination for an individual who is being recommended for a knighthood or damehood, we undertake a high level of research in order to confirm all the details of the nominee’s achievements, making sure these are in line with the criteria for a King’s honour award. Our consultants commit on average around 150 hours to researching, gathering and collating all the information they need to give your nominee the best possible chance of success.
