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.
