Nomination Guidelines
1) All Masaryk University students (i.e. both full-time and combined) or graduates who were
enrolled in studies at MU when assisting with a course taught by their proposer are eligible
for nomination (hereinafter referred to as the "nominee").
In order to receive a nomination:
a) a nominee's teaching assistant record must be available in the IS MU,
b) alternatively, this information may be confirmed by a course teacher/guarantor.
2) Nominations may be submitted by all active MU students, students who have interrupted
their studies and students who either successfully completed or terminated their studies in
the past academic year (i.e. after 1 October of the previous calendar year) (hereinafter
referred to as the "proposer").
 Nominations must be submitted via a designated IS MU application.
 Each proposer may nominate 1 to 3 nominees in each of his/her studies; no nominee
may be nominated more than once (by any one person). A proposer may only
nominate a nominee who either taught him/her or who supervised his/her final thesis
or dissertation.
 Each nomination may be supplemented with an optional written commentary,
subsequently submitted for consideration to the relevant SC AS MU committee.
Comments, anonymously available to relevant nominees, may be used for future
competition administration.
 In order to nominate a person not included in the course teacher list, a proposer must
enter the relevant person's university ID number. In the case of a person nominated
in this manner, the code designating the course which the nominee is being
nominated for must be entered in the text box. The proposer may also add a written
commentary. The nomination cannot be taken into account without the course code.
 Nominations are collected at the end of the spring semester so that even first-year
students will already have completed a full academic year.

who expressed their agreement with inclusion in a student raffle. Proposers may
change their nominations prior to a final collection conducted via the IS MU.
