Hairnews Awards Spotlight: All About the Creative Awards


Every day this week, we will be focusing on a different category in the Hairnews Awards, and explaining it in more detail. The first spotlight is on the Creative Awards.

Remember: Hairnews Awards entries close on 31 January for all Awards categories.

The Creative Awards are to celebrate creative talent in the industry. There are three sub-categories you can enter – Best Photoshoot Collection, Best In-Salon Makeover and Best Gents Barbering.

Creative Awards: Best Photoshoot Collection

This award is for a professional style shoot, which can be two or more photos but should be a “collection” showcasing styles, trends or a creative theme. This award will be judged on the trends showcased in the photos as well as on the shoot itself. It must be your own original work (or your team’s original work) and you must have your client / model’s permission to submit it.
