Do you know someone who has made an exceptional contribution to the Cayman Islands? Someone who stands out for sustained and exceptional achievement and service? If so read on.
The honours system recognises people who have:
• made achievements in public life
• committed themselves to serving The Cayman Islands
They’ll usually have made life better for other people or be outstanding at what they do.
They must still be actively involved in what you’re nominating them for.
What people get honours for
People get honours for achievements like:
• making a difference to their community or field of work
• enhancing the reputation of The Cayman Islands
• long-term voluntary service
• innovation and entrepreneurship
• changing things, with an emphasis on achievement
• improving life for people less able to help themselves
• displaying moral courage
Honours are given to people involved in fields including:
• community, voluntary and local services
• arts and media
• health
• sport
• education
• science and technology
• business and the economy
• civil or political service
The community is also invited to submit nominations for the King’s Certificate and Badge of Honour. The same honours nomination form should be used. Nominators must indicate on the form that the nomination is for a Certificate and Badge of Honour.
If you wish to nominate someone more information on the Honours system, nomination forms and guidance on submitting nominations can be found on the following web page:
