· The entries will be judged by an independent panel of hairdressing industry experts.

Prize Details:

· 12 final winners will be selected by the judging panel after the second round of judging. Each winner will receive a place on the L'Oréal Professionnel Paris ID Artist Programme 2024-2025 (the "Programme") which is non-deferrable. This involves a minimum of 5 days of inspirational and educational workshops and stylist opportunities (such as backstage work at fashion shows, demonstrations at trade events or colleges, and/or stage presentations at industry events) per year (each an "Event"). The first Event of 2024 will take place on 12 March 2024 and 13 March 2024. Later dates for 2024 and 2025 will be confirmed in writing to each winner in advance. The prize includes economy travel and basic accommodation to and from these Events. Each winner must make themselves available for the travel arrangements and the Events. No replacement Events or travel arrangements will be provided if the winner cannot attend, unless otherwise permitted by the Promoter in writing. The Promoter is not responsible for any issues relating to immigration, visas, or any legal requirements in relation to the winner travelling to and attending the Events. The winners are responsible for paying all associated costs for the Events that are not specifically stated in these Terms and Conditions, including (where applicable) meal costs, spending money, insurance and all other incidentals. Winners must respect all government requirements in relation to COVID-19. The winners are also personally responsible for any personal or incidental expenses and any VAT, national and/or local tax liabilities incurred in claiming or using the prizes. The Events are likely to be located in the UK only. There is no guarantee that the prize will include international travel and this will be determined by the Promoter at their sole discretion.

· Please note that there may be additional workshops and opportunities provided to the winners but these are provided at the sole discretion of the Promoter ("Other Events"). Only access to the Other Event is included and no other costs will be paid for by the Promoter, unless otherwise confirmed by the Promoter in writing. All travel, accommodation, insurance, or any other incidentals or requirements for travel will be each winner's sole responsibility. The Promoter will inform the winners of any Other Events by email and the winner must respond to the email by the specified deadline in order to be eligible for the Other Events. Unless it relates to a technical error caused solely by the Promoter, the Promoter shall not be responsible for any Other Events opportunities that were not received by the winners and shall not be required to consider any responses that were provided after the specified deadline.

· It is each winner's sole responsibility to be available for the Event dates set out in these Terms and Conditions, which includes obtaining approvals and permission from their employers in advance to enter the Promotion and attend the Events, as well as any Other Events offered to the winners.

· The prize is awarded to the individual and not their hair salon. Therefore, if the winner's employment status changes during the duration of the Programme, the winner will remain eligible to attend the Events subject to these Terms and Conditions, provided at all times that the new hair salon also has a valid L'Oréal salon stockist account on the L'Oréal Partner Shop. If the winner joins or will join a hair salon that does not have a valid L'Oréal salon stockist account on the L'Oréal Partner Shop, the winner acknowledges and agrees that it will forfeit the prize at the point when the winner submits its resignation for their current hair salon, or otherwise gains employment in a hair salon that does not have a valid L'Oréal salon stockist account on the L'Oréal Partner Shop (whichever is earlier).
