Open awards and programs where someone else has to put your name forward. Nobody tells students to ask, so most never get in the running.
Nominators need weeks: to learn your record, to write, and to meet their own internal deadline, which is often earlier than the one on the sponsor site. Ask the day you read this, not the week before.
Every row carries a nomination phrase from the listing in its own words. We never guess. "Teacher recommendation required" is not a nomination and is not here.
A three-line script the student uses is on every detail page.
