Northampton Town boss Chris Wilder and Bury coach David Flitcroft are among those nominated for February's League Two manager of the month award.
Wilder, who was appointed as Northampton boss towards the end of January, guided his side to 10 points from six games.
While the club remain in the bottom two of the table, there is renewed hope that Wilder can help the team make up the four-point gap to safety.
An unbeaten run in February has ensured a nomination for Flitcroft, whose team now reside 17th in the standings, six points adrift of the bottom two in the table.
They may have succumbed to defeat against Cheltenham Town in their first fixture in March, but last month, they were able to grab 11 points from five games.
Plymouth Argyle boss John Sheridan also picks up a nomination following three away victories in February, one of which included a 4-0 rout of Fleetwood Town, which has placed the club two points adrift of a playoff place.
Nigel Worthington could be named the league's manager of the month after York City grabbed wins against Fleetwood and Plymouth on away turf, and ended February unbeaten having taken eight points from their fixtures.
The winner will be announced on Friday, March 7.
