Announcing the 2021 Golden Mentor Award Winners

We’re touched by the entire community of mentors around the world who did all they could to care for one another and for making conversations and knowledge accessible for all.

We’re determined to celebrate what is good—kindness, welcoming, and belonging—despite attempts to challenge the trust these feelings require. We're proud to celebrate them for the first time in 2021. Introducing Golden Mentor Awards.

The Oscars for Mentorship

Our annual Golden Mentor awards celebrate all the magical moments that mentors have impacted together throughout the year. The qualification criteria ranges from reviews from mentees, the consistency of impact (not frequency), contributions to community like helping fellow mentors, etc and more.

So without further ado, here are this year's Golden Mentor Award winners 🏆:

I've been mentoring designers for almost two decades, but in the last 2 years it got to a completely different level, and none of this would have been possible without Felix, and an incredible team at ADPList. Thank you for recognition!

These mentors and their stories are inspiring examples of how your countless welcoming smiles, unforgettable sessions, acts of kindness, and community efforts can democratize mentorship for all. And we need access now more than ever. Congratulations to this year’s extraordinary Golden Mentor Award winners.
