The great thing about students is that they love their teachers so that they just want to nominate them again and again and again.

Um, so could you avoid (as best as possible) them nominating you quite so many times 😉 Just the one will do – we’re not selecting shortlists on the basis of number of nominations.

Also, let’s get imaginative people! Probably 50% of the many hundreds of nominations so far are for ‘best teacher’ – whatabout best designed, best individual, best newcomer, best post and best paper… going for a niche you’re strong in will seriously increase your chances of making it through to the shortlist.
