So you have been nominated. 

This is real.
And it already means something.

Someone in your professional world, a colleague, a peer, someone who has seen your work up close, took time out of their day to record a video. They said your name. They described what you do, why it matters, and what changed because of you.

That moment has already happened. Whatever comes next in this process, it cannot take that back. You are seen by someone who knows exactly what your job involves.
