Seven businesses have won the 2026 People's Choice Stevie Awards for Favorite Companies, part of the German Stevie Awards. The organiser announced the results on 29 September 2026, following more than 7500 public votes in August and September.
Congratulations to the winning teams. This is recognition from the people who took the time to vote for you, alongside the awards you earned from the professional juries.
All Seven People's Choice Winners
The organiser's announcement names these winners:
- chemmedia AG, Chemnitz, Germany.

You can find their category assignments in the official People's Choice results announcement.
How the Public Vote Worked
All organisations that won a Gold, Silver or Bronze German Stevie Award in 2026 automatically qualified for the public vote. The company with the most public votes in each category won its People's Choice award. These are public-vote results, distinct from the jury-awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze results.
The winners are due to receive their crystal People's Choice trophies at the joint ceremony in Paris on 28 October 2026. The dedicated ceremony page confirms that date and says both the lunch and evening events are sold out.
Planning to attend? The organiser's homepage gallery still mentions 11 August, while its 2026 ceremony page and September winners announcement say 28 October. Follow the dedicated ceremony page and confirm your arrangements directly with the organiser before travelling.
Turn Recognition Into a Useful Story
If your team won, start with the people behind the achievement. Thank the colleagues who delivered the work and the supporters who voted, then explain what your business does for its customers. A clear example of the problem you solved is more useful than a string of superlatives.
For your next entry, keep that story connected to evidence: what changed, who benefited and how you measured the improvement. Public support and measured impact tell different parts of your story; make room for both.
