Our independent panel of industry experts want to bring exposure and recognition to business and brands of all sizes. Celebrating the world of hair beauty and makeup that helps to enhance and provoke confidence in all of us. As we all know beauty comes from within and Inclusivity is extremely important to the beauty full awards with particular interest in eco warriors and inclusive brands and professionals.

In some cases, our sponsors, partners, or scouts may reach out and invite you to a pre-assessment. A pre-assessment means our in-house panel takes a look at your socials/website and assesses if your credentials, work, and the overall presentation of your business would qualify as a shortlisted finalist should you decide to enter the Beauty Full Awards.

Things that are NOT part of BF finalist criteria:

– Size of business (no matter how big or small, our community is here for you).

– Social media popularity (whether you have 1 follower or 1 million followers, this does not measure the quality of your work).

– Voting – we do not ask for votes, as this can be an unfair practice for winners (usually for companies to gain lots of hits on their websites rather than genuinely championing the worthy winner).

If you are pre-approved for shortlisting, this means that if you do choose to enter the awards, you are guaranteed to be shortlisted as a finalist and will receive:

– A FREE digital personalised finalist certificate

– A FREE digital finalist badge to add to your printed materials, website, and socials

– FREE access to marketing your business on BF socials

– Access to finalist trophies to make the most of your title

– FREE access to the grand final ceremony where you may just be placed as a winner!

Pre-assessments are completely free, and there is no obligation to enter, no matter the outcome. If you would like to be considered for a free pre-assessment, please reach out on the “contact us” page and include your social media handles/website link if applicable.

Assessments:

After purchasing your entry and submitting your application form, our panel will assess your supporting information on your form, as well as your submitted photos. If you attach any social media handles or website links, our panel will carefully take into account as much evidence as possible to determine if your business meets the criteria to be shortlisted as a finalist.

If your business is shortlisted for the finals, you will receive an email to inform you of the good news, providing you with:

  • A FREE digital personalised finalist certificate
  • A FREE digital finalist badge to add to your printed materials, website, and socials

Then, throughout the year, you will have:

  • FREE access to marketing your business on BF socials
  • Access to additional finalist merchandise to make the most of your title
  • FREE access to the grand final ceremony, where you may just be placed as a winner!

We use our social media to promote your business and bring it to the forefront. Keep an eye out for invitations to collaborate on posts featuring your work.

Send us images of you with your certificate and any merchandise, and we will ensure that you get noticed.

By tagging us in your work and stories on social media, we will always do our best to repost and continuously support your business.

We will be launching various tools and guides to help boost your business and maximize your finalist status throughout the year.

In the closing month of the season, we ask our grand final judges to make the final decision on placements (yes, those prominent individuals actually dedicate a lot of time to reviewing your work!).

Meet some of our judging panel here (here is a link to the judges’ page).

Entries close one month prior to the grand finals so that our panel and grand final judges can have ample time to give your applications the time and consideration they deserve.

You will receive an email on the night of the grand final ceremony, providing a link to view the ceremony either in the comfort of your own home, in the salon with your team, or why not get dressed up, book a nice table with your team, and take the iPad!

T’s & C’s

All creative categories are judged independently.

Judges will not and must not discuss any entries before, during, and after the awards.

Brand/Product entries will be asked to provide images to support their application. If you reach finalist status, you will be asked to send x 3 of each item you have entered (products will be tried and tested by our judges and will not be returned).

Entrants will be notified within 30 working days via email if they have achieved finalist status. Unfortunately, if you do not hear back, it means on this occasion you were unsuccessful.

The judges’ decision is final. No correspondence will be entered into.
