German Soap Award

The German Soap Award began for the first time in 2011 as an event organised by mypromi.de and VIPshare Media for German Soap operas and Telenovelas. The awards started because more than 33 million viewers watch the series, yet its actors and actresses have barely been acknowledged, often overlooked in other award ceremonies, not taking their acting abilities serious. The Nominees in each category are chosen by a jury and then the winner of the award are determined by a vote on the Internet.

The first German Soap Awards held on 4 June 2011 at the Hotel Grand Elysée Hamburg. The event was organized by Sören Bauer Events from Hamburg. Protagonists of telenovelas and soap operas were nominated in eleven categories. Over 750,000 people took part in the voting. Pete Dwojak the former actor from Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten presented the evening.

For the Female Fan Favourite there were no nominations. All actresses of all telenovelas and soap operas could be chosen.

For the Male Fan Favourite there were no nominations. All actors of all telenovelas and soap operas could be chosen.

For the Female Fan Favourite there were no nominations. All actresses of all telenovelas and soap operas could be chosen.
