Not long now
Our jury has chosen this year’s winners. Now we are busy checking background information, evaluating sources and finalising award speeches. Who are the winners? That will remain a secret until the gala starts. We’re looking forward to an entertaining evening with presenter Ralph Caspers, featuring a contribution from the Teckids and musical accompaniment.
When: Friday, 25 September 2026, 18:00 CEST (UTC +0200)
Where: Hechelei, Ravensberger Park, Bielefeld

Watch together, talk about it together
Not everyone can make it to Bielefeld. That’s why we will livestream the gala – an English version, too: on bigbrotherawards.de/en. Watching the livestream together makes for an even better experience. Hackspaces, NGOs, libraries and other groups can organise a public screening. If you register your event with us, we will support you with materials and publicise your event on our channels. We have a public screening how-to (in English or German).
Our research needs your support
Every award speech requires elaborate research, technical and legal checks and many hours of work. The BigBrotherAwards are independent, made possible mostly through donations and voluntary help.
