Now we call on the whole industry – and anyone beyond it – to nominate people they feel also deserve recognition for what they are doing and the impacts they have had. Anyone can be nominated, as long as what they have done demonstrates the capacity for the superyacht industry to do good or to instigate change.”Do you know of an owner who has promoted an ocean conservation cause, maybe one of your fellow crew members has been vital in overseeing an environmental initiative that has made a difference or you know of a designer who has been crucial in developing new technologies? Nominations should reflect inspiring individuals who are making a positive impact both within and through superyachting and the superyacht industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288172/image/large-5bf050c99a475878298f357ea6530f7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288172">Managing Director at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show (Company)">Monaco Yacht Show</a> Gaëlle Tallarida commented, “The Honours announced itself with a bang on the eve of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/182" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2023">2023 Monaco Yacht Show</a>, and the awards have quickly found their place within the industry by celebrating the people at its heart.
