Commemorative honor mention plaques can vary in nature. On one hand, they can publicly recognize the contribution or performance of a person or a group to a specific activity. These honor mention plaques are usually awarded by an institution that is a reference in the relevant sector, whether public or private. In this regard, these commemorations are common in academic, scientific, business, cultural, or social settings.
On the other hand, the honor mention can also be recognized within a competition or contest. This distinction indicates that the participation of the person or group deserves an award, which does not necessarily mean that they are the winner. This depends on the rules of the contest, as the mention may value effort, skill, intelligence, or any other quality demonstrated during the competition or contest.
Below, we give you some examples of honor mentions in different areas.
Honor Mention Plaques for Company Employees
Periodically, companies hold commemorative events to recognize the contributions of their employees or significant individuals in the sector in which they operate. Here are some examples of the information that could be engraved on the commemorative plaque:
- Company name + Honor Mention + Name of the person or group + Reason for recognition + Date and place of the event + Company logo or signature of the corporate officer
Institutional Honor Mention Plaques
Public institutions and companies also award honor mentions to relevant individuals. For example, journalist Julia Otero recently received the honor mention from the Generalitat de Catalunya's Communication Awards for her long and significant career in the fields of radio and television. The information on the commemorative plaque in this case could be:
- Institution name + Honor Mention + Name of the person or group + Reason for recognition + Date and place of the event
Generalitat de Catalunya + Honor Mention to Julia Otero for her long and significant career in the fields of radio and television + Barcelona November 2021
Commemorative Distinctions for Students
In the academic field, universities, academies, and educational centers can recognize the efforts of their students with honor mentions, apart from the well-known Honors, awarded to students with the best grades in universities and institutes.
In this sense, educational institutions may award an honorary mention, for example, to students who, in a disadvantaged social or personal situation, have made an effort and achieved good academic results. A milestone that can serve as an example to people in the same situation and that deserves recognition from the educational community. Or to individuals who have shown an achievement during their studies.
The information for the commemorative honor mention plaque for students could engrave these details:
- Name of the educational center + Honor Mention + Name of the person + Reason for the mention
Honor Mentions in Competitions and Contests
Honor mention plaques within competitions or contests of any type distinguish and value the participation of the person or group. It does not necessarily mean that they are the winner, but that their role in the course of the contest deserves a distinction. The structure of the engraving on the commemorative plaque would be similar to the previous cases:
- Name of the competition and organizer + Honor Mention + Name of the person or group + Reason for the mention
