Nominate Your Favorite Fed

The Partnership for Public Service announced on Wednesday that nominations are now open for the 2010 Service to America Medals awards program for federal employees.

Medal categories includes homeland security, career achievement, call to service, citizen services, national security and international affairs, justice and law enforcement, and environment, science and technology. All career civilian federal employees are eligible, and anyone may submit a nomination.

Winners will be selected based on three main criteria: their work on meeting the needs of the nation, on-the-job innovation, and commitment to public service. The awards are accompanied by cash prizes, from $3,000 to $10,000.
