an award!
When one person mentors, two lives are changed.

We champion success and celebrate growth. We are searching for those individuals who believe they have the ambition and vision to steer the industry in years to come. Our industry’s future talent.
Inspiring
action
We inspire others to get out of their comfort zone, build confidence and take action, to become the best version of themselves, they can possibly be. Starting today.
Collaborating
together
As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” We collectively create a supportive platform to aid both professional and personal growth. You are now part of a community.

”We feel confident the Silhouette Awards will deliver in rewarding and supporting the latest talent in our industry through something more than a conventional awards programme. As a mentor, I feel strongly that young people should be supported, and given the opportunity to rise and excel further, so the Silhouette Awards seemed the perfect project for Parrot and Archifos to collaborate on. We have a shared passion to nurture young people, and to give back to the industry we love so much. We hope the Silhouette Awards will deliver just that!”

“Having been recognized for my commitment to the industry at a young age, I strongly believe there needs to be a platform for the rising stars of today. And one that goes beyond a trophy, but actually offers continued support.
Receiving recognition early in my career proved to be invaluable to me, and my future endeavors, and I hope the Silhouette Awards will also provide others with this opportunity to shine, build confidence and discover their professional potential with the support of their mentor. Mentorship is important for growth in all aspects of life and the mentor-mentee relationship is vital for everyone to experience. This is an ideal collaboration for Archifos and Parrot. Two businesses striving to deliver the same mission, both with complementary skills.”

‘Having had a mentor during my early twenties I found their guidance invaluable. Ultimately it has led me to be where I am in my career today. As a team, we believe the Silhouette Awards will provide a platform for young talent in our industry to shine and develop. Much more than just a standard awards programme, we bring mentorship to the forefront for our future talent’
Put simply, we think our rising stars deserve to pushed into the spotlight, and given the opportunities to shine.
