Are the nominators comments used as part of the selection process?
Yes. Nomination narratives are read by evaluators and panelists, with the nominators’ names deleted. While nominated artists may reveal their candidacy at any point, nominators, evaluators, panelists and the PFA staff are expected to keep the artists’ names confidential. The information contained in the nominating statements and the applications is read only by the evaluators, panelists and PFA staff.
