The judges will be comprised of government and industry travel and relocation experts to evaluate all applications and select the winners.  Agencies will be notified by GSA.  Visit the National Travel Forum Website for more information.

GSA may present awards in travel, relocation, and/or honorable mention.  Cash award(s) will be presented to the innovation winner(s)--either an individual or team limited to six.  A plaque (or similar award) will be presented to the agency for the top selections; the individual(s) who participated in the project(s) will receive certificate(s) of recognition.
