  • The nominated candidate does not need to be a member of the NVHG

  • Nominations can only be made by members of the NVHG

  • An NVHG member can nominate only one candidate

  • Self-nomination is not allowed

  • To avoid potential conflicts, members of the selection committee cannot make nominations
