Honorary Awards
Honorary awards are special recognitions given to individuals for their significant contributions to a field or society, without requiring them to fulfill the standard criteria typically associated with that award. They often celebrate achievements like humanitarian efforts, artistic accomplishments, or lifetime contributions to a profession. These awards acknowledge excellence and impact, allowing organizations to honor those who have made a difference, even if they do not fit the conventional eligibility requirements. Examples include honorary degrees, lifetime achievement awards, and special accolades presented at various ceremonies, such as the Oscars or academic institutions.
