Nominations are invited for persons to be considered for the King’s New Year’s and Birthday Honours List 2026.
There are several categories and levels of orders awarded to deserving individuals.
In all cases, awards illuminate areas of dedicated service which merit public recognition. In terms of service, the difference is determined by the extent of the person’s influence. In terms of achievement, the difference is determined by the significance of the person’s impact in their chosen profession.
