enshrinees
Those formally honored
Enshrinees are people who have been enshrined—formally inducted into a hall of fame or similar institution of honor.
The term appears almost exclusively in sports contexts: The Baseball Hall of Fame announced this year's enshrinees.
An enshrinee has been elevated from candidate or nominee to permanent member of an honored group.
