A not-to-be-missed event since its launch in 1994, the SILMO d'Or rewards and celebrates the talent and creativity of an entire industry every year. The SILMO d'Or awards are the ultimate recognition of the ingenuity and inventiveness of over 350 companies !

In 1994, the SILMO organisers, always willing and committed to highlight the optical and eyewear sector, decided to reveal this formidable energy: they created trophies to crown and consecrate the excellence, creation and innovation of manufacturers and brands from all around the world. Over 30 years, the prize that embodies the SILMO d'OR has rapidly become a coveted reference.

To create and innovate is to succeed in the challenge of launching something new on a market, a crucial challenge for the competitiveness of companies in an environment where competition is always strong. Creation and innovation are also a formidable source of energy internally because they stimulate know-how and skills within companies. This energy is increased tenfold when they are rewarded by professionals.

A legendary award, the Grand Prix des SILMO d’OR puts the reputation of companies in the market, their teams, and their know-how to a test. It is an opportunity to get high visibility and recognition in the optical sector.

The SILMO D'or are competitive, stimulating, and authentic !
