According to the entry it says you can nominate yourself or someone else. I guess if someone is extraordinary and has improved life in some ways, it would be fine. Personally, I couldn't toot my own horn in that way. It would feel way too odd. I could definitely write about someone else, just not me. If I won, I'd feel even more strange!
