Yes, that is correct. A nomination is when someone proposes, or suggests your name for something. So, someone can propose someone else for an award. A nomination is much more general than that though. Typically, people get nominated for elected positions. Politicians get nominated for election. The management positions in clubs usually start with a nomination, and then if there is more than one candidate, there would be a vote to select who gets the position. With an award, there may or may not be a nomination process, and the selection of who gets the award would usually be by one person, or a committee, rather than by an election.

Award pertains to the act of (giving) itself, while "nomination" relates only to (suggestion). Furthermore, "award" is used with money and prizes, while "nomination" use includes suggestion for a job or position.

"Nominee" literally means "named." "Nomination" refers to a very common two-step process. First, a group of people who are qualified to be nominators, produces a list of nominees. Second, someone--often a completely different group--chooses a winner from among the nominees. The Nobel prize is an example of this process. 1) In order to receive a Nobel prize, a person must FIRST be nominated. (Only a strictly defined set of people are considered "qualified nominators.") 2) The Royal Swedish Academy of Science chooses the laureate from among the nominees. In the case of the Nobel, the list of nominees is kept secret for fifty years. However, in other cases, the list of nominees may be public. Merely having been nominated for a prestigious prize is often considered to be an honor in itself.
