We are excited to introduce the Privacy Professional Award as a new category. It is open to all practitioners, researchers, educators, and professionals who have made significant contributions to enhancing privacy and data protection. To ensure thorough evaluation for our new Award, we have expanded our jury to include experts in privacy and data protection.
We invite all eligible candidates to submit their applications for consideration. This is an excellent opportunity to gain recognition for your hard work and contributions to the cyber security landscape in Belgium. You may qualify for more than one Award.

All applications are reviewed by an independent expert judging panel, which adheres to a strict code of conduct addressing conflicts of interest and ensuring impartiality. The winners will be announced at a live ceremony on December 4th. Applications can be submitted until October 4th (11:00 PM).
