unnominated
Passed over completely
Unnominated means not having been nominated or put forward as a candidate.
Someone unnominated for an award wasn't among those selected for consideration: Despite her groundbreaking work, she remained unnominated for the prize.
The term appears most often in discussions of awards, elections, or other competitive selections where being nominated is a prerequisite for winning.
