Inalist

Inalist refers to a person who is a finalist in a competition or contest. This term is typically used in the latter stages of a selection process where a limited number of participants remain as contenders for the ultimate prize or position. Being an inalist signifies that an individual has successfully navigated through previous rounds of evaluation, showcasing a high level of skill, talent, or suitability for the award. The status of inalist often brings increased attention, recognition, and sometimes even specific privileges related to the competition.
