Nominating someone for an Honour

Nominating someone for an Honour

Section titled “Nominating someone for an Honour”

Anyone may nominate a person for a Royal Kaharagian Honour. Nominations are received throughout the year and considered by the Chancellery in confidence.

How to nominate

Section titled “How to nominate”

The fastest route is the public nomination form on honours.kaharagia.org. By post or email, write to nominations@hc.kaharagia.org with the same information described below.

What to include

Section titled “What to include”

A strong nomination is short, specific, and grounded in concrete examples. Please include:

  • The nominee’s name and (if known) date of birth, country of residence, and a way to reach them.
  • A summary of their service — what have they done that merits recognition? Two or three paragraphs are enough.
  • Examples — specific events, contributions, or outcomes you can point to.
  • The case for an Honour now — why is this the moment? Is there a milestone, an anniversary, a culmination?
  • Yourself — who you are and how you know the nominee. The Chancellery sometimes follows up with nominators for clarification.

You do not need to suggest a particular Distinction or class; the Chancellery determines what (if anything) to recommend to the Sovereign based on the case as a whole.

What the Chancellery looks for

Section titled “What the Chancellery looks for”
  • Service that has made a difference — to Kaharagia, to a community, to a field, to humanity.
  • Sustained contribution — Honours are not given for a single moment but for a body of work.
  • Character — recipients become public exemplars of the values the Crown wishes to celebrate.

What happens after you submit

Section titled “What happens after you submit”
  1. Acknowledgement — you’ll receive an acknowledgement that the nomination has been received.
  2. Consideration in confidence — the Chancellery does not discuss specific nominations or confirm whether a particular person is under consideration.
  3. Decision — if the Sovereign confers a Distinction, the recipient is notified privately first; the Chancellery may inform you that “your nomination resulted in a conferral” without identifying the recipient until they have been told.
  4. Publication — recipients appear in the Honours List published in the Royal Kaharagian Gazette.
