Participants should first complete the application process, and submit their entry or entries by 17 September 2023 at the latest using the online form available at https://taheadvancedbarber.com/formulario-trabajos/. Entry requirements include three photos (of views from the front, side, and back), for each entry if competing in more than one category. The judges will select ten (10) participants per category, who will go through to the next stage.
      NB: we recommend participants make a video recording of this entry, which will be required at the second stage.
    • Stage two: online format. The ten (10) participants selected from stage one should submit their entry by 12 October 2023 at the latest, in the form of an unedited video with a maximum length of thirty (30) minutes. The video should be sent to the email address provided by the organisation. The judges will then select three (3) entries per category to go through to the final stage. The video should show the participant creating a style identical to the entry for the first stage, preferably using the same model. There should also be a detailed commentary over the video explaining the inspiration behind the cut. The judges will assess different aspects of the complete video, including makeup, atmosphere, style and scenography. Here you have a dossier that will serve as a tutorial to learn how to record your video correctly.­
