2024 NZHA Editorial Stylist – Cover Shot
The Editorial Stylist awards are for hairdressers wanting to expand their personal brand through photographic competition success.

The Editorial Stylist awards are for hairdressers wanting to expand their personal brand through photographic competition success. A high level of technical artistry will be demonstrated to produce a unique but progressive concept. Attention to current trends while also thinking ahead is a must. Create an image suitable for the front cover of a magazine that will forecast fashion for the coming season.
2024 NZHA Editorial Stylist – Derek Elvy Visionary Award
This award celebrates the creative genius of the late Derek Elvy. Derek worked closely with Hair & Barber New Zealand on the brief, which is to create a photographic image that is beautiful but arresting, contemporary and directional and have a technical challenge to it. Whilst the focus should be on hair, ultimately the judges will be asked to choose a fashion forward editorial shot that is progressive (Avant Garde).
2024 NZHA Editorial Collection - Sponsored by NZ Hair & Beauty Expo
The 2024 NZHA Editorial Collection will feature a cohesive storyline between all images, showcasing your technical expertise & versatility.
Three images will make up your submission, with only one model in each shot. The model in each image can be the same person, or all different people, as long as each image is reworked and different from the others.
Unlike other editorial categories where a headshot is sometimes preferred, consideration should be given to capturing a full length shot of the model, to further promote your creative intentions. Hair, makeup and clothing will help link the story between the images.
This category is open to both barbers and hairdressers. Where an entrant is skilled in both barbering and hairdressing techniques, they may choose to highlight a hybrid of skills.
An image entered in another editorial category can be used in the Editorial Collection category, but the other two images must have a cohesive link.
