Want to show off your creative colour-work and skill? This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss! Enter the Color Outside the Lines Australia 2021 competition for your chance to win the grand prize!
Color Outside the Lines Australia is a Paul Mitchell sponsored competition where hairdressers are invited to showcase their creativity to an audience of industry experts and likeminded individuals. It’s a fantastic opportunity for hairdressers to highlight their salons and demonstrate their skill and knowledge at combining creative colouring, cuts, and styling techniques.
Hairdressers are encouraged to think outside the lines and create beautiful, commercial hairstyles that reflect current Australian fashion trends. It’s a chance for hairstylists to break out of their daily routine and challenge themselves with new concepts. To enter, hairdressers must photograph their final look and upload it to Instagram following the competition guidelines. Don’t have a fancy camera setup? Don’t fret! All that’s needed is captivating colour-work, a willing model, and a digital camera.

The competition process – when are the winners announced?
After entries are closed, judging will commence – all finalist judging will take place blindly with judges not knowing the names or identities of the entrants during the contest.
- 70% of the marks are attributed to hair colour technique, choice of colour, and how the hair colour works with the haircut and style
- 30% of the marks are attributed to the overall vision, creativity, and interpretation of the theme
