Organised by EDRi member Digitalcourage, the event can be followed in German and English: All award speeches will be published in both languages as the winners are presented, and English translation will be provided for the live stream on the BBA website. With some internationally relevant awards and perhaps some surprises, Digitalcourage hopes that the event will be interesting for an audience outside Germany as well.
