Reminder! Your Chance to Judge Prudence Magazine's 2010 Beauty Awards!

Time's getting tight, and if you want to be in with a chance to be a judge - with a host of top beauty pros - at this year's Prudence magazine Best Buy Beauty awards, then you'd better get your skates on because entries close on the 29th - that's NEXT TUESDAY!

We have had some truly stellar entries so far, and a big thanks to all of you who've put pixels to screen in your endeavours to win. Some really interesting stuff has been reviewed and there's been a really good spread of brands and products, proving that you guys really do know your beauty bits.

But the competition's not over yet so if you haven't submitted your entry already then you've got some time. So, what do we want from you? Apart from your first born beauty brand (oh, we jest), this is the low-down:

WHAT DO TO: we want you to send us a 50 word review on two of your favourite products, in two differing categories. Don’t do two reviews on lipstick, for example: try to mix it up across product types and show us how versatile you are – because that’s how we’ll assess the winning entry. We’re looking for someone who has a depth of knowledge about products, who knows their way around a beauty hall and who has the necessary critical faculties to take on this task.

More deets and some Ts&Cs are after the cut.

COMPETITION CLOSED!

HOW TO ENTER: Send your pair of reviews to competitions@beaut.ie, marking your entry ‘Prudence Beauty Awards’. Please put your reviews inline in your email, not as an attachment, and do remember to give us your full name, postal address and mobile phone number. If you have a blog, please give us a link to it!

THE RULES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Terms are a little different for this one. While the usual Beaut.ie rules apply (one entry per person; you must be resident on the island of Ireland; there is no cash alternative, our decision is final and we never share details with 3rd parties; the closing date is Tuesday 29th June 2010 at 5pm), there are a few other terms and conditions we need you to be aware of before you send in your entry:

• If you are picked as a judge, you will be expected to fully test and trial all the products in your categories; you will have just over three weeks for the testing period, and you will need to ensure that you are free and available during the month of July to do so
• You will be expected to make yourself available for a full day of judging on July 23rd, in a central Dublin hotel
• You will consent to have your picture used and quotes printed in Prudence magazine, on Prudence.ie and in any other publications which may carry materials on the awards
• You may not discuss any of the findings of the judging panel or reveal anything about the process until Prudence’s September/October issue hits the stands
• You will need to be free to attend the awards night itself, held at the end of August (date TBC)
