nomineringene

Nomineringene refers to the set of nominees in a given award, election, or recognitional process. The nominering itself is the act of proposing candidates, while nomineringene are the individuals, works, or entities that have been proposed and meet the stated criteria. In Norwegian usage, nomineringene are often discussed in relation to cultural, artistic, or professional recognitions, but the concept applies to any process where candidates are identified for consideration.

The production of nomineringene is typically handled by a nominasjonskomité, en jury, eller en avstemming blant medlemmer i en relevant faglig gruppe. The process usually involves establishing eligibility, evaluating merit according to criteria, and compiling a shortlist. After review, the nomineringene are announced publicly, and the nominees (nominerte) become the candidates for the final decision or voting. The final winner is often determined by a separate voting body or jury.

In practice, nomineringene are a critical step in shaping attention and legitimacy for forthcoming awards or offices. They are commonly reported by media, especially in cultural sectors such as film, music, and television, where public interest and industry consensus can influence subsequent outcomes. While the term is widely used, contexts vary: in some political or organizational settings, related terms like kandidater or kandidaturer may be used for the final contenders, with nomineringene serving as the initial pool. The concept derives from the verb nominere, rooted in Latin.
