Before entering the 2027 Australian Hair Fashion Awards, please review the Rules and Criteria for your chosen category carefully. Several categories have been updated for 2027, including new entry pathways, revised submission requirements and the introduction of new categories.

The 2027 season is now structured across four award streams: Premium, Creative, Business and Product – each with its own eligibility requirements, judging criteria and submission guidelines. Every category page includes a Submission Checklist to help ensure you have everything you need before submitting your entry.

Whether you're entering for the first time or returning to compete, this is your go-to guide for preparing a successful submission, so we encourage you to read your chosen category carefully before you begin.
