Yes, you can nominate yourself, or be nominated by someone else. In the evaluation this does not make any difference. If you nominate someone else, please make sure that the nominated person agrees to the nomination and would be able to join the Ceremony in Barcelona. It would be sad for the nominee to miss the event (should this still happen, someone would have to join instead of the nominee).
