official proposal for a role
The official act of saying that someone should get a job, position, or prize.
Vzorec užití:
a nomination of [someone] for [a job/award]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "nomination" with "application". An "application" is when a person asks for a job or prize; a "nomination" is when someone else officially puts that person forward. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: say "a nomination for an award/position" or "the nomination of someone", not "nomination to someone" in this sense.

|
recommendation (Emphasizes support or approval rather than the formal process itself.)
Antonyma
rejection (Focuses on not accepting someone for a role instead of officially putting them forward.)
|
withdrawal (Refers to removing a name from consideration rather than entering it.)

status as party’s chosen candidate
The official position of being your party’s chosen person to run in an election.
Vzorec užití:
win the nomination for [office]
Častá chyba:
Learners may confuse "nomination" with "election". The nomination comes first: a party chooses its candidate in an internal process, and then that candidate runs in the public election. Learners also sometimes say "get the candidate" instead of "win/secure the nomination".
Synonyma
candidacy (More general for being a candidate; does not always imply official party backing.)
|
endorsement (Highlights support or approval; may be less formal and not limited to parties.)
Antonyma
defeat (Refers to failing to become the chosen candidate in an internal party contest.)
|
deselection (Specifically the removal or refusal of a candidate by a party, the opposite of granting a nomination.)

a specific award or honor nomination
One official choice for a prize or honor.
Vzorec užití:
a nomination for [an award]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think "nomination" means the same as "award" or "prize". A nomination means you are in the final group being considered; an award is what you get if you win. You can say "She got a nomination" or "She was nominated", but not "She won a nomination" when you really mean "She won the award."
Synonyma
nod (Informal entertainment-industry slang for a nomination, often for awards.)
|
entry (A more general term for something put forward in a competition; less formal than "nomination" and not always used for major awards.)
Antonyma
snub (Informal; describes not receiving a nomination when one was expected or hoped for.)
|
overlook (Being passed over and not given a nomination while others were chosen.)

formal naming in official documents
The formal act of writing someone’s name in an official paper so they get a role or money later.
Vzorec užití:
the nomination of [someone] as [role/beneficiary]
Častá chyba:
Learners may not realize this is a technical, legal use. In everyday speech, you usually say "name" or "choose" someone, not "make a nomination" in this sense. Also, learners sometimes say "sign a nomination" when it is more natural to say "fill in/complete a nomination form."
Synonyma
designation (Common in legal and corporate language for formally naming someone for a role or benefit.)
|
appointment (Stresses giving someone a position; not always tied to a written legal record, but often overlaps in formal contexts.)
Antonyma
revocation (The act of cancelling a prior nomination or designation in official records.)
|
removal (The opposite of formally naming someone; taking them out of a role or off a list of beneficiaries.)
