Schwarzkopf Professional has announced that it is now on the search for the 2024 Young Artistic Team.
Entrants must be stylists under the age of 26 who are affiliated with a Schwarzkopf Professional salon in Ireland or the UK.
Running for over 25 years, the Young Artistic Team programme aims to inspire and develop emerging talent in the industry. According to Schwarzkopf Professional, the initiative has been instrumental in shaping the careers of many rising stars in the hairdressing world.
Recognising the abundance of untapped potential within the industry, the brand said it is eager to contribute to the growth and development of young stylists by offering unparalleled training and invaluable experiences alongside seasoned professionals.
The selected participants will embark on a transformative journey, receiving a minimum of 10 days of top-quality training, a dedicated photographic session and exposure to invaluable hands-on experiences.
To enter, candidates are required to craft a compelling mood board that showcases their creativity, inspirations and the type of work they aspire to create. This visual representation will serve as a glimpse into the artistic vision and identity of each participant.
Applicants must also create a short video introducing themselves as the creative force behind the scissors. In this video, participants are encouraged to share personal insights, their likes, loves and passions. This segment allows the judging panel to connect with the individual beyond their technical skills, uncovering the unique personality and flair that sets them apart.
