THE JUDGES
We believe everyone should have a fair shake at winning industry awards. For that reason, we made a foundational commitment that judging would be transparent and done by a panel of independent judges selected for their diversity of experience, deep category knowledge, and insatiable curiosity.
The independence and caliber of the judges gives the BeautyMatter Awards unprecedented credibility and reach. To maintain the integrity of the process, judges commit to confidentiality and recusing themselves from judging any awards if they have an affiliation with any entrants.
