SPOTLIGHT YOUR TALENT.

In 2023, the competition’s mission is simple: to embark on a quest to uncover talent from all corners of Ireland. For the first time in our long-standing history, the new L’Oréal Colour Trophy Moving Image Award category is open to entrants working in a salon, or as an independent stylist.

The competition invites entrants across ALL categories to create a colour look on any model, of any gender or any gender identity of any hair type.

Entrants, if successful, will go straight through to compete live at our Grand Final.

Entrants can interpret this as they see fit, but the final look must share the same values as L’Oréal Professionnel Paris. These are:

  • Fashion: Taking inspiration from trends
  • Innovation: Classic elements, with a brand-new twist
  • Pioneering: A colour that could be a future trend

The work presented must always be exceptionally executed and technically correct.

Wefts, weaves and extensions covering a maximum 25% of the head using L’Oréal Professionnel Paris Colour can be used.

No full wigs are allowed.

Models do not have to be professional, but they have to be confident, self-assured, ‘own’ their look.

The clothes, makeup and accessories should enhance and complement the overall look that the colourist and stylist have created.

The hair colour will be the overriding factor in any decision-making process.
