Why not do it now? What are you waiting for?
Can you imagine what people would think of the Grammies or the Academy Awards if nominees for awards were not announced? And anyway, what's the point of winning if you don't know who the competition was?
Finally, nominees might well consider it an honor to be nominated, and that's an honor that should not be denied to them.
I don't see a good reason not to announce candidates. What's the point of the secrecy?
Thanks, Richard Hunter
