Student Competition

The competition is open to students of a recognized make-up school and to those who have graduated 12 months prior to the competition date. Make-Up Artist will only accept competition entries postmarked by Sept. 24. Eight competitors will be selected for each competition. Cash and/or prizes will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place winners for each competition. To qualify, you must fill out and send us this form, along with 8-10 photos of different looks you have done. Photos don’t have to represent the make-up you plan to enter in the competition. All entries, photos and artwork become the non-returnable property of Make-Up Artist magazine.

This year's beauty/fantasy competition theme is Alice in Wonderland, inspired by director Tim Burton's re-imagining of the classic story. The beauty/fantasy competition takes place on Saturday, and the time limit is two hours.

The character/prosthetic competition theme for this year is Grimm's Fairy Tales, which pays homage to the classic stories from childhood. The character/prosthetic competition takes place on Sunday and deals with prosthetic applications and bald caps. The time limit for the character competition is three hours. No outside prosthetics are allowed, only the ones supplied by IMATS.
