When was Saint Sebastian first nominated for sainthood?

St. Sebastian was not "nominated" for sainthood nor was he canonized. He was proclaimed a saint by early Christians because of his martyrdom. The canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.

Where was St. Sebastian canonized?

St. Sebastian was martyred for his faith in Rome about the year 288. Shortly after his death people who knew of his heroic act already considered him to be a saint. This opinion was generally accepted by the early church. It was not for more than 1000 years after Sebastian's death that a formal procedure for canonization was instituted by the Church. He is classified as a "pre-congregational" saint because he was already declared a saint before the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints took form that investigates candidates for sainthood.
