PHOTOGRAPHERS NOTES• Entries must be supplied with a ‘before’ shot of each model taken on the day of the shoot prior to any hair work,
make-up or styling (with the exception of Avant Garde as for this, you must supply an unretouched Polaroid of the final look before any computer enhancement). There is no set size for the before shots but they should be no larger than 10” deep x 8” wide. Failure to provide these may result in disqualification. If entering Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year, please refer to specific requirements found in the category criteria.
• Entries must be supplied with an “after” shot of each model before any post-production/retouching.
• The overall size of each photograph must be 10” deep x 8” wide (portrait) unmounted*. The size includes any borders. Please do not use paper clips when submitting your entry as this can damage the photographs.
• Remember, it is the hair work, which is important in the photographs. Please keep this in mind when selecting the photographic paper to be used.
• No more than two faces may appear in any one photograph.
• No more than four pictures can be used in two different categories (with the exception of Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year where the same eight images can be entered into a region).
• With the exception of the Avant Garde, Men's and Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year categories, No more than four pictures in the collection of eight can contain wigs/extensions/hairpieces or stands.
You can use a maximum of two wigs in total, in a maximum of two pictures.
A further two pictures can include extensions, hairpieces and/or strands.
Please bear in mind that should you get through to the second round you will be asked to supply a further four photographs. You will need to ensure that you have only used a maximum of two wigs in a total of two pictures and extensions, hairpieces and/or strands in two additional pictures in the overall collection of eight photographs.
This will be checked. If used, you must declare which pictures contain the wigs/extensions/hairpieces/strands by labelling the back of the pictures with the words ‘wig’ or ‘extension/hairpiece/strand’. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
• Please ensure that nothing appears in the photographs that could be used to identify the entrant (e.g. branded gowns).
• The closing date for the first round is Friday 23 June 2017 at 5.00pm. Entries will not be accepted after that time. Contact June Berry or Sharon Webb at Hairdressers Journal International. Tel: 020 3841 7365 / 7374 Email: [email protected] / [email protected]
