Not knowing where you are from, I would caution that at least in the PNW district system (and maybe other district systems), in 2014 all mentors nominated for the district WFFA were recognized at the district events, since not all teams qualify for the DCMP. This meant that mentors who were nominated knew they were nominated. Your mileage may vary, and I don't know if they are going to do that again this year. I have also seen this done at regionals before. WFFA nominees are usually not announced, but there's no guarantees that it won't be made public if they don't win.

I will also say that while a nomination for WFFA is a huge honor, it is not the only way to recognize a mentor who has made an impact on your life. A heart-felt letter or thank you is very powerful, especially if it's something you're willing to share in front of the team. Your team only gets on WFFA nomination each year, but that should stop you from recognizing other mentors who have had a special impact on you.
