Once a year, the golden deer can be spotted making a fresh appearance on the German awards scene. The BAMBI is awarded by Hubert Burda Media to individuals who have demonstrated vision and creativity and whose outstanding achievements have been reflected across the media. Previous prizewinners have included Jan Ullrich, Elton John, Heidi Klum and Klaus Maria Brandauer.

Our new faces award uncovers new talents, places them into the limelight and turns them into stars. Since 1998, on the eve of the German film awards ceremony in Berlin, BUNTE has recognised the skills of new generations of actors who have attracted the attention of the media through their first principal role in a cinema production.

A further animal that is well known to all who are close to Burda is the GOLDEN HEN. This media prize is handed out each year in Berlin by SUPER ILLU and the television channel MDR. To date, Hans Dietrich Genscher, Mikhail Gorbachev, Günther Jauch, Carmen Nebel, Rudi Völler and Isabell Werth have had the honour of taking this 3.5 kg golden bird home with them.

Each year, the NEO internet prize picks out the most popular websites of the German-language internet. Financed through a vast media initiative, this prize is awarded to individuals and productions in the categories film, television, music and sport.
