Explosive brilliant

The Brisant Brillant was the media prize of the ARD tabloid magazine Brisant . It was launched in 2001 as part of the 2000th Brisant broadcast and awarded until 2007.

history

From 2001 to 2003 the award was called Goldener Wuschel , named after the show's former mascot. The Wuschel is a small, black-haired creature with a red nose (carrot), originally conceived as a ball lightning for the weather forecast in the broadcast. For several years it presented, among other things, the “bio-weather” at the end of the program.

From 2004 to 2007 a new trophy with the emblem of the shipment (lying diamond with BRISANT lettering ) was presented as a Brisant Brillant .

At a gala event, prizes were awarded annually in four categories: social commitment , life's work , shooting star of the year and heroine / hero / heroes of everyday life (audience award). Since 2008, only everyday heroes have been awarded.
