2025 Judges

JUDGES ... How it works

Awards Process

Only the organisers, Michelle and AJ, are privy to the Winners names, which adds to the excitement of the night. Each candidate on the shortlist will undergo evaluation by three judges from the panel. Each judge will score the applicants independently, without knowledge of the other judges’ scores. These individual scores will then be combined to determine the top five or ten finalists, as well as the winners.

This approach guarantees that the final results are not swayed by any individual opinion, ensuring fairness throughout the process.

Not being present at the awards ceremony does not disqualify candidates from winning. Therefore, when we announce the winners on the night, some may be absent. If that occurs, we’ll move forward quickly.

You can now apply for the 2025 judging panel using the form below.

The BAA Awards strives to represent the diverse talent and inclusive culture of our industry through our judging panels. As an industry leader, we are keen to learn more about you. By sharing information on the questions below, you will help our continued work with our diversity partners to advocate and support inclusivity across the beauty and aesthetics industry. This year we will not be accepting judges who have entered a category.

Unfortunately, due to the number of applications received each year, we are only able to contact those who have been successful.
