What happens now
From nomination to confirmation.

Submissions were checked for eligibility, completeness and alignment with one of the five pillars.
Claims, achievements and measurable outcomes were checked using credible evidence and, where needed, direct candidate information.
Candidates were assessed against the published recognition standard with conflicts of interest disclosed and managed.
Selected honourees are being contacted privately to confirm acceptance and complete final profile checks.
The Class of 2026 will be announced after confidential confirmations are sufficiently complete.
