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 achievement in public life.
• Committed themselves to serving The Cayman Islands.

People receive honours for achievement such as:

• 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 such as:

• Community, voluntary and local services
• Arts and media
• Health
• Sport
• Education
• Science and technology
• Business and the economy
• Civil or political service
