What are nominations?

A nomination is when someone suggests that another person should get a special award or title because they did something really great.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game, and one of them wins the most points. Instead of just saying "Great job!" you could say, "I nominate Sarah for the Best Player Award!" That means you're telling everyone that Sarah should get a special prize for being so good at the game.

• When someone is nominated, it’s like getting a gold star from your teacher, but instead of just one person giving it to you, many people can say you deserve it.
• Sometimes, there's a vote after all the nominations are in. It's like when your class picks the best friend of the year, everyone gets to choose who they think should win.

Nominations help make sure the right people get recognized for doing something amazing, just like how your teacher might give you extra praise if you do really well on a test!
