AAMVA’s awards program fosters a tradition of excellence in the motor vehicle and law enforcement community by honoring individuals, teams, and organizations who have committed their time and resources to safety and security initiatives, outstanding customer service, and public affairs and consumer educational programs throughout North America. Each year, AAMVA receives numerous outstanding submissions in each category and through a rigorous judging process selects those that are exemplary. Awards are presented at our Regional Conferences and at our Annual International Conference.  

Submission Information 

All submissions must conform to the specifications listed in each award description. Each jurisdiction agency should complete and send one award entry form with the accompanying information specified in each award description. Please send a separate email for each award submission and include all materials for that award. If an award submission represents the work of more than one agency or entity, submit one entry form that has the contact information for each agency or entity.  All award submissions must be sent electronically. If the materials are too large to send by email, please place in a zip file and email to awards@aamva.org. 

For specific questions regarding awards and submissions, please contact Jessica Hill at awards@aamva.org.
