King’s Honours application support
Achieving a King’s Honour is a mark of excellence and one of the highest accolades
available to any individual. It recognises outstanding achievements and extraordinary
service across public, professional, and voluntary sectors and remains the most prestigious
and most coveted award in the world.
A King’s Honour is an international award and anyone can receive one if they meet the
criteria, wherever they live, and whatever their nationality. The honours committee exists to
recognise and acknowledge two different types of people: those excelling in their chosen
field, and those doing charity work in their local or global communities.
Why apply for a King’s Honour?
Receiving a King’s Honour – whether a BEM, MBE, OBE, CBE, or Knighthood/Damehood –
is a celebration of leadership, service, innovation, and philanthropy. Beyond personal
prestige, a King’s Honour can elevate your public profile, inspire others in your field, and
solidify your legacy. Many use it as a platform to do even greater work, business and
voluntary.
Who can be nominated?
Nominations can be made for individuals who:
Have made a significant, sustained impact in their field or community.
Demonstrate integrity, humility, and outstanding dedication.
Inspire change or innovation on a local, national or international scale.
