Blind judging by the Independent Judging Council
​To ensure that all beauty artists receive the fairest possible chance, the Independent Judging Panel members do not see any identifying information, such as name or professional background.
This creates a truly independent judging experience where the notoriety or CV of the applicants is not considered as part of the judging process, leaving the focus where it really belongs: on the artistic work.
Your work will be quantified based on the following criteria, within the categories you entered:
Visual Achievement
Technical Execution (difficulty, quality/complexity of appearance, and techniques used)
Creativity and Concept (where applicable)
Overall Impression
