How To Enter The Aesthetics Awards

The Aesthetics Awards bring together the very best in medical aesthetics and leaders in the profession to celebrate the achievements of the past year. Special categories have been designed to recognise the finalists and winners for their services to the profession and industry. Awards are presented to those who have worked hard to represent the highest standards in clinical excellence, product innovation and practice achievement and have truly excelled in the field of aesthetic medicine, from clinics and individual practitioners to manufacturers and suppliers.

Entry is FREE and open from May 2 and must be made via the Aesthetics Awards website. You can enter in as many categories as you wish but you may only enter yourself, a company you work for, an employee who works for your company or a product made or distributed by your company. Entries made on behalf of a third party will not be accepted. You may only enter each category once. Multiple entry forms for the same clinic, company, individual, treatment or product will be disregarded. All entries must be accompanied by the supporting evidence requested in the entry form. This information will be used to choose the lists of finalists and by the judges when voting on a winner. The list of finalists will be announced in the September issue of Aesthetics journal, after which the voting process will begin.

Entries must be completed via the website by the 30 June. There will be no opportunity to amend this once you have submitted your application online unless you pay an administration fee of £100 plus VAT and this information is received before shortlisting has begun. Late entries will also be subject to an administration fee of £100 plus VAT and acceptance is at the organiser's discretion.

If you have any questions please call our support team on 0203 096 1228 or email support@aestheticsawards.com.

How the entries are judged

After the closing date, the Aesthetics team consider all the entries to select a list of finalists in each category, which are published in the September issue of Aesthetics journal. Users registered on the Aesthetics website are able to vote for a winner in each of the following categories:

• Cosmeceutical Range / Skin Treatment of the Year

• Wholesaler of the Year
• The PHI Clinic Award for Professional Initiative of the Year
• The Enhance Insurance Award for Best Independent Training Provider

Each of these categories will also be assessed by the judging panel and although voting will make up a percentage of the final score, this will not constitute the majority.

The Ceremony
