4. BLIND JUDGING BY THE INDEPENDENT JUDGING COUNCIL
To give every Beauty Artisan the fairest possible opportunity, members of the Independent Judging Council do not see any identifying information like names, professional backgrounds or country of origin.
This creates a truly independent Judging experience where entrants’ notoriety or resume is not considered as part of the judging process. An amateur is judged exactly the same as a pro because you will be judged solely on the artistry you submit.
Your work will be judged numerically on the following criteria within the categories you enter under:
- Visual Success
- Technical Execution (difficulty, quality/complexity of the look, and techniques used)
- Creativity & Concept (Where applicable)
- Overall Impression
