See the six nominationsThe Grand Prize
Every entry.Every point.
The Grand Prize, €1,000 cash, goes to one participant: the highest cumulative score across all judged works. It rewards sustained performance, not a single exceptional piece. Anyone with at least one judged work is eligible; there is no minimum number of nominations. On a tie, the best single work decides, then the most first places. In 2026 it took 1116.5 points across eight entries.
Places are ranked per level and nomination. First place takes the official trophy, a premium digital diploma and sponsor products; second and third receive a premium digital diploma; every other participant receives a standard participation diploma. Ties are real: equal scores share the place.

A lasting community.
101 participants, 223 entries and 36 judges completed edition I between November 2025 and May 2026. Marilisa Dinardo took the Grand Prize with 1116.5 points across eight entries - which is the whole argument for entering more than one nomination, made in numbers instead of copy.

A little clarity
Before you enter.
Who can enter?
Four experience levels: Junior (0-1 years), Master (1-3 years), Expert (over 3 years) and Trainer. Experience is counted from the year you completed your basic lash extension course. If you teach courses, you enter as Trainer, whatever your years. Choose honestly, and check your level before you pay, because it locks after the first payment.
Do I need to attend in person?
No. This is an online championship. You prepare and submit your work from your participant account, wherever you are.
What do I need to send?
15 items per entry: twelve photos in before/after pairs (each AFTER taken from the same position and in the same light as its BEFORE, with the close-ups done for each eye), one technical photo, and two videos: an overview before and the finished work after. Lash Lift asks for 18, with four side photos and no technical photo. Up to 25 files in total. If something is missing, the upload screen names it; it warns you, it does not stop you sending. Read the upload guide
How is the Grand Prize calculated?
It is the sum of every judged work you sent, across all nominations, and it pays €1,000 cash to one winner. Anyone with at least one judged work is in the running; there is no minimum. More nominations mean more chances to add points, not a guarantee. On a tie, the highest score on a single work wins; if that is level too, the most first places. In 2026 the winner entered eight nominations and finished on 1116.5 points.
Can I enter the same nomination more than once?
Yes. You can hold up to 8 nominations per edition, in any mix: different nominations, or the same one several times with different works. Each entry gets its own code, is judged and ranked on its own, and adds to your Grand Prize total.
How does the judging work?
A judge does not score a whole entry. Each judge is given one or more criteria from the grid and scores them on every entry in the nomination, without knowing who made it, so the same eye applies the same measure. Penalty and bonus points are scored by every judge on the panel, and their average counts. The final score is the sum of the points, with penalties subtracted, and equal scores share the place. Once results are published you see which judge gave each score, and their comments.
Where are my invoice and results?
Orders and invoices live in your participant account. Scores, the judges’ comments and diplomas appear there once the organiser publishes results.
