The RegioStars Jury will comprise experts on the Award themes and representatives from the Commission and the Committee of the Regions. Winners are expected to attend the Regions for Economic Change conference in March 2009 when the awards will be announced. They may also be asked to present their project at the conference. Although there will not be a monetary reward, the winners will be presented with a trophy and a film of the project will be produced.
