The 52nd Augsburg Presseball featured a charity raffle to benefit the Kartei der Not foundation, offering prizes such as a Mercedes-Benz A-Class and a fitness program. The event also included the AJ GlamCam photo contest, where attendees could vote for group or couple photographs to win a retreat at the My Mayr Med Resort.

Following the gala, social media discussion emerged after photographer Chris Haimerl posted a video critiquing guest outfits that deviated from the “Black is beautiful” dress code. One guest, Anja Klindworth-Heer, was singled out when Haimerl compared her golden fascinator to a “Parmesan cracker.” Klindworth-Heer responded to the viral video, which reached over 300,000 views on Instagram, by stating she found the comparison amusing.
