The Competition Floor:

  •  Only competitors and their models may enter the competition arena. Any other person entering the arena must obtain permission from the organizer or floor judges.
  • Competitors will be allowed to set up their tools and products during the competition briefing.

There are drawers in the desks provided where products and tools can be stored. Techs are invited to use the desk drawers during the comp.
  • Each competition will have a briefing, scheduled 20 minutes prior to the start of each event.
  • Competitors and models must be present for the briefing and remain at their desks until the conclusion of the competition.
  • Once the allotted time is up, competitors must immediately stop working (and stand with their model); all competitors must leave the competition arena until all models have left the area to be judged. (This will take some time so it is advised that competitors take their personal handbags with them.) Competitors will be allowed back in the arena as soon as possible to clear desks or prepare for removal or the next competition.
  • Any competitor found to still be working on their model after the close of the competition will be disqualified by a floor judge.
  • When instructed, competitors are responsible for making sure their model understands the judging procedure and directing them to visit each judge before leaving.

Judging method:

Every effort is made to ensure that qualified judges are provided. Judges meet prior to the competition, so all are clear on what and how they are judging and their responsibilities. Judging sheets are made available to competitors after the awards ceremony and judges will make every effort to be available for any questions/critique afterwards, although this is not guaranteed. The judging is blind, meaning only the models will be seen by each judge. The judges will have no knowledge of which technician created which set of lashes. Models will be identified by numbers on wristbands randomly assigned on the arena. Judges do not judge every aspect of the set. Each judge is given aspects out of 10 aspects to judge. This way they can concentrate on a few aspects of the lashes, rather than all and helps to keep the judging consistent. It also stops any one judge from drastically raising or lowering a competitor’s score, since they do not judge all 10 points. This method of judging makes the process a bit quicker, which is good in larger competitions like this. Every effort is made to make sure the judges are a mix of experts from around the world. It is your responsibility to read all the rules and obtain clarification on any you are not 100% certain of. If you compete and are judged with a deduction due to a rule that you did not interpret the way it was meant, it’s too late to change this at the competition. Judge’s decisions are final and all entries are judged on the exact same criteria. Have all your questions clarified before the competition to ensure a more satisfying experience.
