Why do the selectors and nominators serve anonymously?

We promise anonymity to our nominators and selectors so they will not be subject to pressure. This anonymity also allows the selectors to speak candidly about the writers under consideration. We also ask our nominators not to reveal to their candidates that they are under consideration for an award to avoid raising their hopes. Only about one in ten writers nominated is chosen for an award.
