THE BRIEF

 

• Entrants must create a well-executed, inspirational, modern colour showcasing a female look. This must be complemented by a beautiful style, finish and total look taking inspiration from upcoming trends.

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

• Fashion: Taking inspiration from trends
• Innovation: Classic elements, with a brand new twist
• Pioneering: A colour that has not been done before and could be a future trend

 

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

 

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

• The competition is open to all Irish residents (who are colourists) aged between 16 and 25 on the closing date of entry which is Monday 18 February 2019, with the exception of L’Oréal (UK) Limited employees and freelancer consultants engaged by L’Oréal (UK) Limited’s Professional Products Division, their immediate families or friends, or anyone connected with such persons or the competition.  If such connection is discovered, relevant entrants will automatically be disqualified. Any hairstylist brought along by an entrant colourist must be an Irish resident aged 16 or over on the closing date specified.
• Proof of age, such as a photocopy of passport, will be checked at L’Oréal Professionnel’s discretion upon entry.  Failure to produce age ID will result in disqualification.
• The competition opens on Wednesday 2 January 2019 and closes on Monday 18 February 2019.
• L’Oréal reserves the right to revise this date and extend the period for accepting entries to the competition in the event of circumstances arising beyond its reasonable control.
• Late entries will not be permitted.
• Entries must be uploaded onto www.lorealcolourtrophy.ie.

• This is a competition for individuals only and the prize will be awarded to the salon of the individual colourist in conjunction with the individual colourist.  If the individual colourist leaves their salon they forfeit their prize experience.

• The colourist may bring along a hairstylist from the salon to assist in the styling of the model as a third team member, but this is not mandatory, therefore the team entering the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Star Award should consist of no more than three (3) people (including the model).  
• There are 3 ROI award categories: 1) ROI - The L’Oréal Colour Trophy Award, 2) ROI - L’Oréal Men’s Image Award and 3) ROI - L’Oréal Colour Trophy Star Award (this category).

• Only one team from the same salon can enter a category i.e. a salon cannot have two or more competing teams in the same category. The same salon can enter one team in each of the 3 ROI categories (meaning a maximum of 3 teams can be entered by the same salon across the 3 categories).

• If the stylist is unable to be a part of the competing team (whether they leave the salon or for any other reason), the colourist can continue on their own and cannot include a new stylist in the team. If the colourist cannot continue to be a part of the competing team (whether they leave the salon or for any other reason), then the team will be disqualified. If an individual enters in a dual role as both stylist and colourist and is unable to be a part of the competing team, then the team will be disqualified. L’Oréal Professionnel will only deviate from this rule in the case of exceptional circumstances (such as death, disability or serious illness) to be determined at L’Oréal’s sole discretion.
• Should the entrant salon be successful after the Photographic Entry stage and go through to the Semi-Final stage, they are not required to recreate the winning look from the photographic entry stage; therefore the model, hairstylist, clothes, make-up and hairstyle may change between the Photographic Entry stage and the Semi-Final stage.
