And further, that the semifinalists from all the district events then go on to the district championship, where one or two of them will be named as DL finalists?
I'm asking about terminology here more than process. It pains me to print incorrect information in the newspaper, e.g. that Jane Mentor was named as a semifinalist, when she was actually just a nominee, or that John Student was named as a finalist, if he was just a semifinalist. Words are important. I don't want any of our publications to be misleading.

Dean's List Students once nominated by their team are semi-finalists. There is no term for a DL student once announced to be moving on from the District round to District Championship. They are Dean's List Finalists once winning the award at a District Championship or Regional.
You are a Woodie Flowers Award Nominee upon being nominated by your team. That designation stay until a mentor is presented with a Woodie Flowers Finalist Award at a Regional or District Championship, at which point they are a Woodie Flowers Finalist.
Winning either DL or WFA at Championship makes you a Dean's List Award Winner and Woodie Flowers Award Winner respectively.
