Nobel Prize nominee

Prestigious honor contender

Someone who has been proposed for consideration for a Nobel Prize.

The term is often self-applied or claimed without verification, since the Nobel Committee keeps nominations confidential for fifty years.

A person cannot accurately be called a Nobel Prize nominee unless they or their nominator disclosed it: He listed himself as a Nobel Prize nominee, but there was no way to confirm it.
