European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards
The European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards recognises the best bloggers, vloggers, tweeters and podcasters in the industry. Attended by the dedicated and brilliantly talented cybersecurity blogger community, CISOs and a number of other industry VIPs, the annual awards are an unmissable networking opportunity for anyone in the know.

Vote here: European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards 2024 – Voting (google.com)
The first round of the awards consisted of a nomination phase, which is now closed.
2) After these nominations are compiled into a shortlist, we open to the public to vote. These votes will be tallied up and points will be awarded to the top performers in each category – highest number of votes receives maximum points (based on how many are in each category), down to the least popular which will receive 1 point.
3) Round three will see nominees in each category go head to head in front of a panel of esteemed judges. The judges’ favourites will also be weighted with a point system – based on their combined top 5 favourites in each category. Most favourite receives 5 points, second favourite 4 points and so on…
These points will then be combined with the public vote, and winners will emerge!
RULES
- Winners will be awarded on a combination of the public vote and on votes from the judging panel. The judges’ decision is final.
- The purpose of the awards is to provide a fun platform to recognise those who make positive contributions to our community.
