Here it comes: the second stage of our E-commerce Germany Awards 2021!

More than 330 companies competed in ten categories in order to be spotted by the audience and then, being evaluated by our Jury. However, as long as we would love to reward them all, we can invite only 10 companies in each category.

And the audience has decided. Throughout February, the public voting took place on our website. More than 18.000 votes were casted, making it the highest vote count ever for the E-commerce Germany Awards.

Below, you’ll find out:
