How will I know if my submission is complete, and what do I do if it’s not?
Once payment has been completed for an entry, it will then be considered valid for the award. During this period, a dedicated team will review each entry, and reach out via email if they find the entry to be incomplete.

Entries receiving an average score under 50 do not receive an award.

There are FOUR (4) levels of achievement in the competition:
The number of awards presented by Arte of Beauty Awards is determined by the number of submissions in a given category, the scoring range and the number of tie scores.
Note: It is not necessary for each category to have a winning title for the Category Winner of the Year. The judges decision is final, and the selections are based entirely on the overall quality of submissions in the given category.
How do I know if I’ve won an award?
All 2026 winners will be officially announced on April 10, 2026 via the Arte of Beauty Awards official page. All entrants can then view the complete results from the website.

What do the winners receive?
Each year, the Arte of Beauty Awards honors the best in beauty excellence from around the globe, while you give us a glimpse into the future of the profession.
Why must winners’ trophies be purchased?
The Arte of Beauty Awards' mission is to recognize outstanding creativity that are otherwise overshadowed by large budgets, which dominate most other international competitions. We also want to extend and encourage students to enter and compete for a chance to showcase the profession.
The Arte of Beauty Awards maintains affordable entry fees to allow start-ups, fresh beauty professionals and young people the opportunity to enter, as well as agencies from countries where the exchange rate or the economic conditions would otherwise make entering impossible.
If an entrant is recognized as a winner, there are no acceptance or hidden fees. Many other awards programs charge an acceptance fee. With Arte of Beauty Awards, once you've won, you've won; there is no additional fee.
If a winner decides they want a statuette, the award makes them available for purchase and orders them from manufacturers. This offering process allows the awards to maintain low entry fees and prevent non-winners’ subsidy of winners.
Some winners choose not to receive a physical memento. Their priority is the prestige of recognition and the exposure the comes with it. Others choose to order statuettes for individuals on their creative team as well as their client. It's all up to the winners!
Statuette shipping time
Winner awards are custom-made. Statuettes will ship directly from the manufacturer. Please allow 6 - 12 weeks for the statuettes. Shipping time may be longer during off-season. Statuettes may be ordered from our online store once winners are announced.
Note: Certain countries might impose customs / duty fees and taxes for imported items. We have no control over these charges, and we suggest to consult your country's customs department.
We strongly recommend recording a video while opening your package, including any enclosed certificate documents. This video is essential in the event you need to file a replacement or damage claim. Without this, we may not be able to proceed with your request.

Scam warning: Important information
There are many people and groups that attempt to obtain your money or personal information inappropriately through fraudulent means. Often, these people and groups misrepresent who they are in an effort to deceive you about the legitimacy of what they are claiming. Sometimes, although not always, they will claim that you have won a lottery or sweepstakes and ask that you send them money so that they can release your supposed winnings to you. In such a situation, you should be very careful and fully investigate any and all claims before you send any money. Please be aware that there are many scams that use SMS/e-mail in an attempt to defraud people using methods similar to these, and we warn strongly against your responding to this type of SMS/e-mail without rigorous investigation to establish whether it is of a genuine nature. Generally, you should treat unsolicited communication (e-mail, phone and letters) that offer financial gain with extreme suspicion; be aware that legitimate lotteries rarely, if ever, ask for a fee to release your winnings; you should not pay any requested fee in advance without fully investigating the matter; and you should not provide banking details or other sensitive financial information in response to emails, phone inquiries and letters without a thorough investigation. In recent years we have been aware of instances of individuals and fraudulent organizations that have been sending notices to people falsely claiming that the recipients have won a lottery.
These notices falsely claim to be from IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, NY DIGITAL AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, LIT ADVERTISING AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS, FRENCH FASHION AWARDS, GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NOBLE BUSINESS AWARDS, NOBLE TECHNOLOGY AWARDS, NOBLE WORLD HOTEL AWARDS,ROME DESIGN AWARDS and ARTE OF BEAUTY AWARDS) and even have the name and contact information of IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, NY DIGITAL AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, LIT ADVERTISING AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS, FRENCH FASHION AWARDS, GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NOBLE BUSINESS AWARDS, NOBLE TECHNOLOGY AWARDS, NOBLE WORLD HOTEL AWARDS,ROME DESIGN AWARDS and ARTE OF BEAUTY AWARDS) employees along with IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, NY DIGITAL AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, LIT ADVERTISING AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS, FRENCH FASHION AWARDS, GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NOBLE BUSINESS AWARDS, NOBLE TECHNOLOGY AWARDS, NOBLE WORLD HOTEL AWARDS,ROME DESIGN AWARDS and ARTE OF BEAUTY AWARDS) branding.
