In each of the four categories: stylist, salon team, student, Matrix friends & family, three semi-finalists were chosen. Each semi-finalist has been awarded $1,000 and their entry is automatically entered into to the finals. Now it's up to a panel of judges who will select the finalists, in each category, and then it's is up to America to choose the ultimate Matrix Mannequin Masters. The winners will get $25,000 and a day with stylist icon and Matrix Mannequin Mania celebrity judge, Tabatha Coffey.
For the stylists that were not selected as semi-finalists, their entries have automatically been rolled-over into next month's pool of entries. Each month for the remainder of the entry portion of the contest, which ends July, 31, new semi-finalists will be chosen. Be sure to visit mannequinmania.com to check out all the entries, get inspired and enter for your chance to win.
