Enter the alternative hair visionary award 2008
When he took on the role of President of Alternative Hair, Anthony Mascolo, had the idea of running a photographic award to select a group of hairdressers to participate in a section of the Alternative Hair Show, entitled the Visionary Award Show.
In 2008, the Visionary Award is back offering hairdressers the exciting opportunity to show their work in front of a 5,500-strong international audience.
As this year's Alternative Hair show celebrates the 80th birthday of Alternative Hair Patron, Vidal Sassoon, entrants should submit one 10" x 12" image that has been inspired by the work of Vidal Sassoon.
From the entries received, 12 hairdressers will be invited to recreate their idea and appear on stage at the Alternative Hair Show on Sunday October, 19th, 2008.
The winner of the Visionary Award Competition 2008 will be announced at the Show on October 19th, and will also be invited to take part in next year's Alternative Hair Show.
