The remit of the Honours Committee is to make recommendations for awards within the fencing family only, therefore largely within BF but occasionally within the FIE or other fencing-based organisations. Responsibility for recommendations for King’s or State Honours remains with BF’s Nominations Committee.
The Honours nomination system focuses entirely on the membership with all nominations coming direct from members. The Honours Committee acts as selectors with the objective of recommending awards in a wide range of categories while ensuring that there is consistency of award levels and criteria. Awards are made annually and announced at the AGM.
British Fencing members aged 18 and over can make nominations to the Honours Committee.
Nominations open in January and the forms are published via news posts on the BF website.
The Terms of Reference for the Honours Committee can be found here.
To see who has been awarded Honours on previous occasions, please see below.
Other than the goblets, please note that Honours are not re-awarded. So say an athlete wins gold at two Junior World Championships, they will be awarded a BF Silver medal the first time, but they will not be awarded a second BF Silver medal the second time.
Athletes are awarded a BF Honour on the basis of international results in Fencing (all Olympic and Paralympic disciplines). See the below table for more information:
| Olympic and Paralympic Games | BF Award | Senior | BF Award | Junior/ U23/ Cadet | BF Award | Veteran (FIE) | BF Award |

Anne Hanrahan Award
This trophy was donated anonymously in memory of Anne Hanrahan, not only for her long service as a volunteer but also for her outstanding personal qualities.

The award is open to both members and non-members of British Fencing as well as members of staff. However, sitting Board members are not eligible. It will not be presented every year.
The decision as to who receives the award sits with the anonymous donor of the award informed and approved by the BF President (representing the BF Honours Committee) and CEO (representing the BF Executive Team).
The award is presented at the AGM.
