Cellebrite Calls for Nominations for 2027 JUSTYS Awards

Cellebrite, a leader in digital investigation and intelligence solutions, is launching the call for nominations for its prestigious JUSTYS awards, scheduled to take place on April 13, 2027. The JUSTYS, short for Digital Justice Awards, aims to honor those unsung heroes in communities who tirelessly work to ensure safety and justice.

The Significance of JUSTYS

In its third edition, the JUSTYS has been revamped to introduce more rigorous evaluation criteria, high-profile jurors, and specific award categories tailored to different types of crimes. These awards seek to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of individuals and teams who strive to protect communities, bring justice to victims, hold perpetrators accountable, and ensure the rehabilitation of the innocent. While some of the cases recognized are well-known, many others highlight the quieter yet equally vital work of professionals dedicated to making the world a safer place.

David Gee, CMO of Cellebrite, emphasizes the importance of this event: “The JUSTYS are the crown jewel of our iconic C2C user summit. We are honored to recognize the professionals who serve within their communities. They are heroes, and we are proud to celebrate their life-saving dedication.” The event's atmosphere is expected to be nothing short of magical, with an orange carpet rolled out for the nominees in Dallas.

A Night of Celebration and Recognition

This year's ceremony will be hosted by Jesse Weber, a well-known presenter from LawCrime Network and NewsNation, who will bring his expertise in covering gripping crime stories to the event. The JUSTYS will be streamed live on LawCrime Network's YouTube channel, reaching an audience of over 7.7 million subscribers, thereby amplifying the recognition of the award winners to a global audience.

LawCrime Network is a leading multi-platform outlet for true crime and legal content, and with the recent acquisition of Court TV, it has further solidified its standing in the industry, offering a comprehensive suite of legal analysis, investigative reporting, and documentaries produced by award-winning journalists and legal experts.

Rigorous Selection Process

Candidates for the JUSTYS will be evaluated based on three primary criteria: excellence in digital forensics and investigations, the impact of the investigations, and integrity and ethics. Each submission will undergo thorough independent evaluation before judges arrive at an overall score, ensuring that a perfect score is rare and meaningful. Additionally, the jury has been expanded to include former recipients of the JUSTYS Case of the Year, alongside select experts in digital forensics and investigations, providing an in-depth and technical analysis of each nomination.

New Award Categories

The 'Case of the Year' award now features four specific categories: Child Crimes and Human Trafficking, Drug-related Crimes, Major Crimes, and National Security. These awards aim to recognize excellence within the community of digital forensics and investigations. Each category will be judged against the same rigorous standards, ensuring that only nominations demonstrating clear and measurable impact stand out:

• - Rising Star: Excellence in Cellebrite for evidence management and collaboration.
• - Mentor of the Year: Excellence in Cellebrite's digital forensics – Examiner role.
• - Champions for Kids: Presented by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, recognizing detectives and analysts.
• - Cellebrite Partner of the Year: Excellence in intelligence within the defense and intelligence sector.
• - Excellence in eDiscovery: Annual corporate investigation award.

With dozens of nominations already received, the deadline for submissions is October 31, 2026. This provides ample time for individuals and organizations to ensure deserving candidates are recognized.
