Awards 2027
Each year the Society bestows its three awards upon those — member or not — who embody its principles through service and sacrifice. Recipients are named at the annual Assembly. Explore each medal below.
1
Highest Honour
Knight of the Red Sea
The highest honour of the Society, reserved for those whose life's work embodies the crossing of the waters. Knights are few, and the medal is conferred but rarely — a mark of a life given wholly to the narrow way.
A Knight of the Red Sea is named for life, and is honoured at every Assembly thereafter.
2027 Laureate
To be announced at the 2027 Assembly.
2
The Medal
Red Sea Service Medal
Bestowed upon members who have given sustained and faithful service to their Asefah and to the Society at large. It marks long dedication walked in the narrow way, and is the most widely conferred of the Society's honours.
Candidates are put forward by their Asefah and confirmed by the Commission.
2027 Laureate
To be announced at the 2027 Assembly.
3
The Medal
Commander's Service Medal
Conferred at the Commander's own discretion upon those whose contribution has reached beyond duty — in service, in charity, or in the building of families and community. It carries the personal recognition of the Sar Tzava.
There is no petition for this award; it is given, not sought.
2027 Laureate
To be announced at the 2027 Assembly.
