It's official! While we were given a sneak peek at the winning images and the names of the finalists of Goldwell's Color Zoom Challenge, they were never put together! Modern Salon Media has now been given the OK to share the names of the finalists alongside their winning images.
I had the honor of helping judge this competition along with Goldwell's John Moroney and celebrity judges Nick Arrojo, Rona O'Connor and Dimitrios Tsioumas. Not one of us on the judging panel took this assignment lightly. Hours were spent looking at the images and reading the attached materials. It is always such a joy to see when your favorites make the cut!
Congratulations to all the finalists. The images will be sent to the Goldwell home offices in Germany for final judging. A winner from each category will then be announced and that artist will be sent to represent the United States at the international competition in London this October.
