Nominate

When you nominate someone, you are putting their name forward as a candidate or potential recipient of something. It could be for a job, an award, a scholarship, or even a leadership position. Nominations often happen in various contexts. In politics, parties nominate candidates to run for public office. These candidates are then put forward for election by the voters. In the world of awards, individuals or organizations may nominate someone for recognition in a particular category. This could be for achievements in fields like music, film, literature, or even humanitarian work. Nominations are often reviewed, and winners are selected based on their merits. In a more informal setting, you can also nominate someone for a role or responsibility within a group or organization.
