The greatest prison is worrying about what others think.
It keeps us quiet, small, and guarded.
Freedom starts when you realize you don’t owe anyone a performance.
Live true. Let opinions pass.

We took our time choosing our word for the new year and landed on three.
2025 was about Consistency.
2026 is about Lighter. Clearer. Alignment.
What’s your word/words for the new year?
There are many worthy causes. What sets The Shyne Awards apart is how recognition changes belief. When young people see peers like them celebrated, it expands what they imagine for themselves. Donate or nominate a young person ages 13–24.

Always proud to celebrate young people, especially when our Shyne Alumni return to honor the next generation.
What started in Pittsburgh is now a global movement. Nominations are open for the 17th Annual Shyne Awards (ages 13–24). Nominate them today.

We are reflecting on the journey of The Shyne Awards—from a local celebration of our youth to a platform now recognized nationally.
One unforgettable highlight was seeing The Shyne Awards featured in Times Square in February 2024.
Forever grateful!
