Lash and Brow Awards 2027

Lash and brow awards celebrate the artists, trainers and brands who set the standard in a fast growing part of the beauty industry. Many sit inside a conference or championship weekend, so you can learn, compete and celebrate in one trip.

Recognition comes from all corners of the world. In Australia and New Zealand, the ILM Industry Awards are held in Melbourne and the Lash Industry Awards in New Zealand, both usually in late winter or early spring. Germany's BEAUTY FORUM Stars Award comes to the Kempinski Hotel in Munich in November 2026, and Next Level PMU presents awards in Markham at the end of October. In 2027, NYC Lash Elite in Jersey City and LASHCON in Pasadena both include awards in their programmes, and The Lash Awards usually follow each September. Looking further ahead, the UK PMU Awards are set for March 2028 near Heathrow. If you prefer to enter from home, the OSCARS Online Global Lash, Brow and PMU Competition and the American Spa Professional's Choice Awards are judged online.

Every lash and brow awards event is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your entries for the year.

How lash awards work

Entries usually open a few months before the ceremony. You may be asked for photographs of your sets or brows, details of your studio and sometimes client reviews, before a panel picks the finalists.

Choosing the right awards

• Artistry: photographic categories reward clean mapping, symmetry and styling.
• Studio and education: some awards recognise salons, trainers and academies.
• Permanent makeup: the UK PMU Awards and Next Level PMU celebrate brows, lips and eyeliner work.
• Online entry: the OSCARS and other online awards let artists enter from any country.

Making the most of the evening

When awards are held at a conference, book the full weekend so you can join the classes too. Arrive with business cards or a simple way to share your work, as the room will be full of brands and educators.
