It serves as credible proof of performance for customers, employees and the public.
ADVANTAGES
Direct contact with Gen Z
No panel, no jury – over 10,000 real votes annually. You'll find out how your brand or product truly resonates with your target audience – in direct comparison to the competition.
Credible AWARD
The seal stands for democratically legitimized trust – awarded since 2011, not by a jury, but by the consumers themselves. A strong signal for customers, partners and retailers.
STRONG CONTENT OCCASION
The award provides you with concrete communication material – for social media, press releases, packaging, and presentations. "Awarded by Gen Z" is an argument that works.
REACH and visibility
As a participating brand, you will be listed on one of our youth ranking platforms* (from November 2026) – with direct visibility to your target audience and media partners.
THE AWARD
The winners of the YoungBrandAwards will be announced at the official awards ceremony in Munich.
The event forms the emotional highlight of the awards and offers outstanding companies and consultants a visible stage.
The focus is on the results of the consumer election, as well as the personal exchange between participating companies.
