IN IT TO WIN IT?
CHECK OUT OUR TIPS BELOW TO ELEVATE YOUR ENTRY AND BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
CATEGORIES
STEP NUMBER ONE - CHOOSE THE CATEGORY (OR CATEGORIES) YOU’D LIKE TO ENTER IN! YOU CAN ENTER MORE THAN ONE AND ENTER MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN EACH CATEGORY.
MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH CATEGORY IS FOCUSED ON, THEN PICK THE ONE THAT IS THE CLOSEST MATCH TO YOUR TALENT AND PASSIONS!
INSPIRATION
PICKED THE CATEGORY YOU’RE GOING TO ENTER IN, BUT NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
CHECK OUT THE GUIDELINES WE’VE BUILT FOR EACH CATEGORY ON PINTEREST. THEN BEGIN CREATING YOUR MOOD BOARD - WHETHER IT’S PHYSICALLY WITH PRINTED IMAGES AND MAGAZINE CLIPPINGS, OR ONLINE THROUGH PINTEREST!
PHOTOGRAPHY
WHETHER YOU CHOSE TO CAPTURE YOUR ENTRY WITH A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, OR TAKE THE IMAGE ON YOUR OWN, THE QUALITY OF YOUR ENTRY PHOTO IS VERY IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU CAPTURE YOUR VISION BY:
PLANNING YOUR SHOT: MAKE SURE YOUR MODEL AND YOUR WORK IS THE FOCAL POINT OF THE IMAGE. IF YOU ARE TAKING A PHOTO ON YOUR PHONE, SOLID BACKGROUNDS WITH NATURAL OR RING LIGHTING WORK BEST.
CROPPING CORRECTLY: REMEMBER YOU WILL BE ENTERING YOUR WORK THROUGH INSTAGRAM. WE RECOMMEND SHOOTING IN PORTRAIT (9:16) OR SQUARE FOR THE BEST VISUAL APPEARANCE ON THE APP.
THE MORE THE BETTER: TAKE SEVERAL PHOTOS FROM VARIOUS ANGLES SO YOU HAVE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM!
ADDING WATERMARK
IF YOU WANT YOUR ENTRY TO STAND OUT, MAKE SURE TO PUT OUR WATERMARK ON YOUR ENTRY! HERE’S HOW TO DO SO ON MOBILE:
DOWNLOAD THE WATERMARK BY CLICKING THE LINKS BELOW. WHEN IT OPENS UP IN A NEW TAB, SAVE THE IMAGE TO YOUR PHONE! IMPORTANT NOTE: DEPENDING ON WHAT MOBILE BROWSER YOUR PHONE USES, THE WATERMARK MAY BLEND IN WITH THE BACKGROUND. HAVE NO FEAR - IT IS THERE FOR YOU TO SAVE!
DOWNLOAD THE APP OVERLAY IN THE APP STORE (IPHONE) OR PLAY STORE (ANDROID).*
ONCE YOU HAVE OPENED THE APP, CLICK THE “+” SIGN IN THE BOTTOM NAVIGATION BAR. FROM HERE YOU WILL CLICK “IMAGE” AND OPEN YOUR ENTRY IMAGE.
ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR ENTRY OPEN, CLICK “IMAGE” FROM THE BOTTOM NAVIGATION BAR, AND SELECT THE BEAUTY ENVISION AWARDS WATERMARK.
POSITION THE WATERMARK WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE IT (#PROTIP: DON’T COVER UP YOUR WORK!). HIT THE CHECK MARK IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, THEN THE EXPORT BUTTON (IN THE SAME PLACE) AND SAVE TO YOUR PHOTOS!
