Do you know someone who makes a special contribution to society? For example, for a (sports) club, volunteer work, or another valuable initiative? Then you can nominate this person for a royal honor.

Royal Honors Ceremony

Every April, the mayor annually awards royal honors to people with special merits. This takes place during the Royal Honors Ceremony, on the last working day before Kings Day.

How to nominate someone

First, contact the Cabinet Affairs employee of the municipality. Together you will see if the person has a chance of receiving an honor. You will also receive an explanation of which information is important and how to fill out the nomination form. More information can be found at www.deventer.nl/lintje.

Note the deadline

If you want to nominate someone for the Royal Honors Ceremony in 2027, submit your proposal no later than June 1, 2026, to the mayor of Deventer.
