Thats entirely up to you lot. I did suggest sending nominations via PM but everyone did it here, bar one person.

I felt it was fairer this way. Thats the way we did it last year too. Doing it this way means everyone gets ther opportunity to nominate any member they want, ideally not influenced by the nominations of others. If people agree with you then chances are the member you nominated will make the shortlist and if your nomination was ultimately in vain then you still get a chance to vote in the final round.

Its when people are too easily swayed by the nominations of others or change their vote in the final round that it becomes unfair but personally I dont see why anybody would do either of those things.
