The Niue National Awards is a system of orders, decorations and medals to recognise the achievements of, or service by, Niueans. It was established in 2020.[1] Previously Niue had fallen under the New Zealand royal honours system. The awards are decided by the National Awards Committee and announced each year on Constitution Day, 19 October.[1]
There are three levels of awards:[2]
- The Niue Distinguished Service Cross (NDSC) for distinguished service, for those who have "contributed many years of outstanding service to the people and nation of Niue";
- The Niue Public Service Medal (NPSM) for those who have contributed significantly as members of the Niue Public Service; and
- The Niue Community Service Star (NCSS) for community service.
The first awards were made in October 2020.[3] Successive awards have been made in 2021,[4] 2022,[5] and 2023.[6]
