The Orienteering Awards are given for performance in orienteering. A committee comprised of Boris Granovskiy, Patrick Nuss, Linda Worner, Peter Gagarin and Peter Goodwin collected nominations and then picked the winners. The individuals who win these awards get a $500 travel grant to orienteering events. This is the third year of these awards.
