Nailympia Online presents line-up of 36 judges
Nailympia Online closes for registration on Saturday 27 February and will be open for another 24 hours to take in submissions. It will finally close its portal at midnight on Sunday 28 February.
This is when the 36-strong judging team will be sent links into their judging portals, which have been allocated to them, but not yet revealed. “It’s getting very exciting as we get closer to the deadline,” enthuses Alex Fox, Nailympia organiser. “We have upgraded the Nailympia website and turned it into a competition portal where competitors from all over the world can register and upload their entries. This in turn, sends the entry to its respective category, where a link will be created and sent out to the judges ( from 1st March), who will then access their criteria, the entries and score straight into the system.”
With more than 30 countries represented and over 170 competitors, this competition is hotting up as it moves through its last week.
A live awards will be held at 7pm GMT Monday 15 March hosted on the official Nailympia Facebook page with Scratch’s Alex Fox and Helena Biggs, managing editor of Scratch magazine.
