Lash Festival 2014 is a celebration of the art of Eyelash Extension, with events and competitions to shine a spotlight on the fantastic work of Lash Artists around the World. The main event is the Lash Festival competition, the largest of it's kind.  It's free to enter and open to all trained and certified technicians, no matter who they were trained by or whose products they use.

This year there are 3 categories in the competition; World Individual Lash Master, World Volume Lash Master and The Salon Magazine Lash Student of the Year. A shortlist will be chosen by an international panel of judges and the overall winner will be decided by public vote. It's the title that everyone wants to win.

The Salon, Europe's premier magazine for beauty professionals, have joined us this year to help publicise the event. They will be running features on the leading competitors and sponsoring the student category which is for technicians who trained or qualified in 2014. Getting onto the shortlist in this category would be a fantastic start to a career in lashes.

The first stage of the competition has been extended to 6 weeks this year. Allowing plenty of time for contestants to collect and submit their best pictures. Entries can be compared and voted for on the competition pages. It's a great way to compare your work against the best Lash Artists around the World.
