yeah the recordset on the /lodges.php page did not include the Nom_Country column in the select statement.
I added it to the select statement to fix the problem.
$query_rsNominations = sprintf("SELECT NominationID, Category, Year, Finalist, Winner, LodgeID, Nom_Country FROM nominations WHERE LodgeID=%s AND (Year='2014' OR Year='2013') ORDER BY Year DESC, CATEGORY ASC", GetSQLValueString($ParamLodgeID_rsNominations, "int"));
