>I hope you let the person know you nominated them, whether or not they get the award. Recognition by a respected peer can mean as much or more than recognition by an official award. If not as remunerative ;-)

Yeah, I did ... although at first I thought maybe I shouldn't, because what if they didn't get it, then they'd be upset. But, then I thought better of it and sent the person an email. =0)
