The 2nd Bravo Awards, commonly called Bravo 2023 are a Twitch-based award ceremony. They are intended to celebrate all things puzzlehunt related in 2022. The awards were hosted by Justin Ladia in March-April 2023.

All puzzles, hunts and creations released between MIT Mystery Hunt 2022 (inclusive) and before MIT Mystery Hunt 2023 were eligible for submission.
