POTSDAM, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 08: Kurt Westergaard (L), German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Joachim Gauck (R) arrive for the M110 Media Award ceremony at Sanssouci Palace on September 8, 2010 in Potsdam, Germany. The M100 Media Prize will be awarded for Kurt Westergaard's 'unbending engagement for freedom of the press and freedom of opinion, and for his courage to defend these democratic values despite threats of death and violence,' the prize committee said.
