- Entrants to Newcomer of the Year must be qualified hairdressers who are salon based in the UK and are 25 years of age or under by 27th June 2008.
- Entrants to this category may not enter any other category.
- Entrants must have a regular client column. (A regular client column is working in a salon for a minimum of one day per week.) This may be checked.
How to Enter
Submit four photographs created by you during the past 12 months. From 30th June 2007 – 27th June 2008.
Entries should be supplied with a ‘Before’ picture of each model taken on the day of the shoot prior to any hair work makeup or styling.
The organisers and judges reserve the right to question any photographs, which appear to be computer enhanced.
The overall size of the photograph must be 10” deep x 8” wide (portrait) un-mounted. The size includes borders.
Should you go through to the second round, you will need to supply a further four photographs, with before shots. These will create a collection of eight photographs.
Photographs can be supplied on photographic paper purchased through a photographer or photographic outlet.
The Photographic Shoot
The use of wigs, extensions, hairpieces or strands is permitted. Please bear in mind that should you get through to the second round you will be asked to supply a further four photographs. Please ensure that you have only used wigs, extensions, hairpieces or strands in no more than two photographs in the collection of eight. This will be checked.
No more than two faces may appear in any one photograph.
Photographs may be black and white or colour and the hair should be commercial, wearable and reflect current trends.
Professional photographers, make-up artists and stylists may be used.
Images do not have to be head and shoulders, but they do need to focus on the hair, especially in terms of lighting and pose.
Before Submission of Photographs
Label the back of each photograph with the entrants name, salon name and salon address and the category entered.
If any of the above rules are not followed, your entry may be returned.
