The Alternative Hair International Visionary Award is kicking off its search for artistic talent as it launches for 2025.

Born from the iconic fundraising event, the Alternative Hair Show, the International Visionary Award was created by president, Anthony Mascolo, to shine a spotlight on talent around the world. This year, the finals will be held virtually, although a date has yet to be confirmed.

Selected finalists in each category will showcase their work during the live virtual event, with a live stream that according to the event founders has seen an international audience of more than 2.5 million viewers in previous years.

Stylists are encouraged to submit as many photos as possible across the three categories to boost their chances of becoming a finalist. The three categories are Cut and Colour, Mens and Avant Garde, with all entries delivering a direct donation to the Alternative Hair Charitable Foundation – Fighting Leukaemia.
