this is a list of gift registries for a shop. Based on the classic "wedding registry (lista de casamiento," it includes birthday registry, anniversary registries and this mysterious "Lista de Distinciones"...

List of Awards; List of Distinctions
Explanation:
It might have to do with university or high school graduates or some such thing, who are on a list of awards or distinctions... I can't see what else it could be.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with graduation as much as with winning an award, like a medal or honors or other distinction.

But of course, Registry of Awards/Distinctions would work well in this context.

Richard's is a good suggestion: Honor's Awards Registry, or Honours if it is for the UK.

Notes to answerer
Asker: then wouldn't something like "graduation registry" or "congratulatory registry" be more appropriate (it is a list of REGISTRIES, and that term is repeated)? Is it specific to academic recognition? thanks
