The AIPP AWARDS 2008-2009 competition is on its way: there's only ONE MONTH left to get the photographic collections from hairdressers all around the world.

So, please: SPREAD THE WORD AND ASK HAIRDRESSERS FROM YOUR COUNTRY TO TAKE PART IN THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION!!!

More and more of the greatest hairdressers from all over the world are participating in the event each year, with a record of 168 entrants from 23 countries taking part in the 2007-2008 competition.

It is easy to participate in the competition: we expect hairdressers just send a press release together with their latest hair fashion collection to be received no later than 30th June directly to our AIPP offices (Paris/Barcelona/Torino), marking on the envelope "AIPP Awards 2008-2009".

Organised once a year, the AIPP AWARDS were established in 1997 with the objective of awarding annual prizes to the best hair fashion collections chosen by a jury of publishers associated with the AIPP. Today the awards include 5 categories:

Best Avant-garde Collection: Recognising work which has researched new, original, futuristic ideas.

Best Commercial Collection: For styles which are easy to wear and simple to re-style.

Best Photography: For the collection composed of the best pictures from the point of view of variety and attention to detail.

Best Men's Collection: In recognition of the marked increase of interest in men's hair fashion.

Best Video (NEW!!!): We just decided to change the content of the Press Pack award, not asking anymore for a press release/pack, but instead of this, and considering the superb promotional videos that more and more hairdressers are developing each year, we ask for a video/clip no longer than 3 minutes promoting a hairdresser/hair fashion collection.
