Founding framework in developmentNo provision in this chapter has been adopted
Plain-language summary
Being eligible is not the same as being entered. Being entered is not the same as being considered, nominated, or recognised. Each stage is separate, and passing one stage never guarantees the next.
Plain-language summaries are provided for clarity. Where an approved formal rule exists, that formal rule governs in the event of any inconsistency.
Institutional principles
Eligibility, entry, consideration, nomination and recipient selection are distinct stages; none guarantees the next.
Payment, sponsorship, advertising, editorial coverage and commercial participation have no effect on consideration.
Different categories may ultimately use different approved consideration mechanisms.
