ABOUT BBA

Every year a person, an enterprise, a government agency or a measure is awarded the “prestigious” Big Brother Award. This award is named after the character in George Orwell's novel '1984'.

As a yearly tradition the Flemish League for Human rights and her partners hand out the Big Brother Awards in Flanders. Who wins this shameful price of biggest privacy offender of the year? A professional jury as well as the broad public decide who receives the award.

Why BBA’s? Even though privacy is a fundamental human right, we see the number of privacy issues grow every day. Raising awareness on this matter is one of the main goals of the Flemish League for Human rights.

The Big Brother Awards consist of a campaign and an event. During the weeks preceding the Awards, we ask the broad public to vote for one of the nominees through a public campaign. In addition to this, it is possible to register for the event, consisting of a ceremony, in which the Awards are handed out, and a thematic afternoon. This programme consists of debates, lectures and workshops related to the nominees. The complete programme will be available here in September.
