The Bambi, often simply called Bambi Awards and stylised as BAMBI, are presented annually by Hubert Burda Media to recognise excellence in international media and television "with vision and creativity who affected and inspired the German public that year," both domestic and foreign.
First held in 1948, they are the oldest media awards in Germany. The award is named after Felix Salten's book Bambi,A Life in the Woods and its statuettes are in the shape of the novel's titular fawn character.They were originally made of Porcelain , until 1958 when the organizers switched to using gold, with the casting done by the art casting workshop of Ernst Strassacker.
The Bambi awards were presented in Karlsruhe between 1948 and 1964. Afterwards the Bambis were given in other cities, such as Berlin and Offenburg. In 2003 and 2004, the awards ceremony took place in the Theater am Hafen in Hamburg. 2006 the Bambi was awarded in the Museum of the Mercedes-Benz-Weltin in Stuttgart. In 2007, the ceremony was held in the Congress Center in Düsseldorf (CCD), and in 2008 in Offenburg.The awards in 2009 and 2010 were performed in the Metropolis-Hall in Potsdam-Babelsberg.
