To enter this year's Young Hairdresser of the Year Award you'll need to submit a colour photograph of a look that reflects current commercial trends.

Entries will be judged on cut, colour and style, and credit will be given for creativity and originality. The top twenty, chosen by industry experts, will be asked to recreate their look at Clothes Show Live on 7 December.

The overall winner will receive £1,000 in prize money, and their winning creation will feature as a HJ front cover.

Last year's winner, Kate Hubbard, of Royston Blythe, Wolverhampton, will never forget the moment her name was announced. "Winning in front of 6,000 people was an incredible experience.

"I have been lucky enough to travel, meet and work with my idols," she said.
