is it defeating to nominate oneself for a award? does it demean said award if the organisers open it to application rather than nomination? on the one hand, self-nomination smacks of self-aggrandisement, and calls into question one's motive for doing whatever it was one was doing in order to deserve the award. on the other hand, going by the truism that no one owes you a living, it is surely imperative to avail oneself of the best possible opportunities - participation might get one some recognition, non-involvement gets one nothing.
is it any wonder that the third option might include those who are deserving of such award and recognition, but steadfastly refuse to have anything to do with it?
