IMAGES ARE ONLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE CATEGORIES IN WHICH THEY ARE TAGGED.

For example, if one hairdresser does the haircut and another does hair color, and the image is chosen to be a finalist in a hair color category, the hairdresser who did the haircut will not be attributed as a finalist.
ONLY ONE ARTIST WILL BE CREDITED PER ENTRY.

Aside from the Collaboration category, only 1 artist will be credited to each entry. For the Collaboration category, 2 artists will be credited.
BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE A SIGNED RELEASE FORM FOR YOUR ENTRIES.
-
On request, entrants must be able to provide a signed release form for all persons who appear in the photograph or video submitted, and/or from the owner of any material that appears in the photograph or video entry. *A release form is just for your protection, so that there is no risk that someone may come forward and say that you did not have permission to use the photo. In the case that someone came forward, without a release, you would be disqualified. We want to make sure artists are keeping release forms to protect themselves against disqualification.
