How to make a nomination
Equality and diversity
We want to do our best to ensure that Honours List of candidates reflects the diversity of today's society. You can help us by giving careful thought to possible women and minority ethnic candidates, as well as to other groups such as people with disabilities. It may be that these people are making a difference in a situation where they are the only woman, person with an ethnic minority background or a disability.
Public nomination form
Honours are given to people from all walks of life and sections of society who have made a difference to their community. Anyone can nominate a person for an award by completing a public nomination form.
Public Nomination and Ethnic Origin Forms:
Guidance for completing the form should be read carefully:
Guidance Notes for UK Honours PDF (37kb)
The number of honours available is strictly limited and therefore, however valuable their service, not everyone who is nominated can receive recognition. It is important to realise that an honour will not automatically follow a submission.

Confidentiality
All nominations are considered in strictest confidence and the candidate should not be informed that they have been nominated as it is not fair to raise expectations in case an award is not made.
Honours list
The Honours lists are published at New Year and on the occasion of The Queen's Birthday in June. You will need to check the published Lists in The London Gazette (www.gazettes-online.co.uk) or national newspapers to see which nominees have been successful.
