Che Adams, Teemu Pukki and Billy Sharp have been nominated for the 2018/19 Championship Player of the Season award.
The trio occupy the top three positions in the Sky Bet Championship goalscorers table, finding the back of the net 67 times between them so far this campaign.
Adams has 21 goals for Birmingham this season, comfortably beating his previous best of 11 for Sheffield United during the 2015/16 campaign.
Pukki has enjoyed a prolific debut campaign with Norwich, with his 24 goals helping the Canaries to the top of the table.
Sharp's 22 goals have helped Sheffield United to second place in the league. The 33-year-old also became the leading goalscorer in EFL history when he scored his 220th goal earlier this season.
The EFL has also announced the nominees for the Young Player of the Season. The award covers all three divisions, and will be contested by Derby winger Harry Wilson, Luton defender James Justin and Norwich defender Max Aarons.
The three contenders for League One Player of the Season are Doncaster striker John Marquis, Luton striker James Collins and Sunderland's Aiden McGeady.
