The legacy of the Gouden Giraffe is safeguarded. Over the years, 109 golden statues have been presented to 79 companies. These awards were presented in various categories, offering a good snapshot of what was considered important during each period.
The Gouden Giraffe Awards require a sustainable framework that ensures continuous development and quality assurance. Now that the awards for outstanding achievements in live communication have entered a new phase, all fundamental principles have been re-examined and, together with various stakeholders, newly formulated. The award ceremony will coincide with HI-DAY, a unifying event that provides space for inspiration, reflection, and encounter.
A platform to showcase creative work that remains under the radar
The event competition is also supported by IDEA, which has also been closely involved in the process and actively supports the Gouden Giraffe: “IDEA supports the Gouden Giraffe because our industry deserves a strong and credible professional award. Continuing this award not only preserves the history and value of previously won prizes but also provides a platform to showcase creative and effective work, which often remains under the radar. In doing so, we create a stage and momentum where the power of live can truly shine.”
The Gouden Giraffe Awards will be awarded on 8 March 2026. To mark the thirtieth anniversary, Gouden Giraffe also published a milestone magazine. You can download it here.
