Invitation for Honours Nominations

Three times a year, HRH Prince Leonard recognizes people around the world for outstanding achievements or performance in a wide range of areas by conferring Royal Honours upon individuals or organisations on behalf of the Principality, these occasions being:..

New Year Honours List       Jan 1^st2012
Anniversary Honours List     April 21^st 2012
Sovereigns Birthday List      August 27^th

One of these occasions --43rd Anniversary Honours List - April 21^st 2012 - is fast approaching and the Principality invites all people of good will to participate in this program. Nominations close Friday April 13^th 2012.
Here is how it works.

Nominees need not be someone famous or distinguished. Rather, we are looking to recognize people from all walks of life who contribute in some way to a cause, which could be an organization, community outreach, sports team or almost any activity of benefit to all. There are also those who work quietly behind the scenes on a personal level. The type of contribution should be something other than just excelling at their paid work.

One need not be a citizen of the Principality of Hutt River to participate as a nominator or a nominee. No self nominations are allowed. There are archived examples of previous awards at the Principality website. An application form in MSWord or .PDF format is provided on the Government download page. Simply follow the instructions and send the materials as directed. We hope all who read this will be moved to participate. The grant and type of award given are at the sole discretion of HRH Prince Leonard. There are 4 Orders of Chivalry from which the Sovereign may choose to Award a successful nominee plus the Title of "Honourable".

There is also the "Red Cross of Hutt Award" for individuals/groups/corporations available to recognise outstanding charitable works. This award is administered by HRH Princess Shirley and the Board of Directors of the Red Cross of Hutt and consideration of this award is given on each of the three Honours occasions each year so nominations are also welcome for this charity award.

There are no costs involved, no fee's to pay, Awards cannot be purchased and are not offered for sale.
Successful nominees will be reported on the website in the Honours List and will also receive a Certificate, Signed by both the Sovereign and the Grand Master of the relevant Order confirming the Award and the bestowal will also be recorded in the Royal College of Heraldry Archives.

A beautiful custom made Jewel pertaining to the Award and boxed in a velvet presentation case may be available to those who desire it, but this would involve a cost, the total being dependent upon the level of Jewel involved, details of this may be obtained from the College on application. It is not a required part of the Award but some like the option so we leave that open to those who may desire.
Nominations for this next round Friday April 13^th 2012.

The better the information provided the better the chance of success with a nomination.
A photo of the nominee for publishing is also a good idea for if a nomination is successful.
If a nomination is not accepted, it may be submitted again without prejudice.

Nominations and supporting documents/information must be provided in English.
Self-nominations are not entertained.
Our thanks to all who support this initiative.

Dr. Sir David Burkart KGSRO.
