Cellebrite Announces Nominees for the 2027 JUSTYS Awards
Cellebrite, a leading provider of digital investigative and intelligence solutions, has unveiled the nominees for the much-anticipated 2027 JUSTYS Awards. This highly regarded event is dedicated to recognizing the unsung heroes committed to ensuring our safety and justice in communities globally.
Scheduled for April 13, 2027, during the annual C2C user summit, the ceremony, once again hosted by Jesse Weber from LawCrime Network, will be live-streamed to a vast audience of approximately 7.7 million YouTube subscribers. This year marks a significant evolution for the JUSTYS, introducing stricter evaluation criteria, a more prestigious judging panel, and new specific categories for the coveted Case of the Year awards.
In its third edition, the JUSTYS aim to honor individuals and teams safeguarding communities, delivering justice to victims and survivors, holding perpetrators accountable, and exonerating the innocent. Although many highlighted cases involve high-profile investigations, it is often the diligent, low-profile efforts by these professionals that contribute to a safer world.
David Gee, Cellebrite’s Chief Marketing Officer, expressed, "The JUSTYS represent the crown jewel of our Global User Summit, and we are privileged to provide these professionals with the recognition they deserve. They are heroes in their communities, and we take pride in honoring their significant contributions. The energy at the conference is electric, and the JUSTYS promise to be a magical evening. We look forward to rolling out the orange carpet and celebrating all the nominees in Dallas!"
As for the judging process, the winners for the JUSTYS are determined by a jury of industry experts using rigorous criteria. Each nomination is assessed based on three fundamental pillars: Excellence in Digital Forensic Investigation, Impact on Investigation, and Integrity and Ethics. The judging process is designed to ensure that only the most exceptional entries resonate with the highest scores, making the accolades truly meaningful.
The award categories for the Case of the Year now include Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking, Narcotics, Major Crimes, and National Security. Additionally, the JUSTYS celebrate excellence throughout the digital forensic analysis and investigative communities. All categories are measured against the same demanding standard, and only nominations demonstrating a clear and quantifiable impact will advance to the finals.
Several nominations have already been submitted, with deadlines for submissions set to close on October 31, 2026. Several notable categories include:
