All finalists will be honored and winners in each category announced at an all-industry gala and red carpet reception July 18 in Las Vegas. NAHA is a highlight of PBA Beauty Week.

According to PBA Director of Education and Programs Bonnie Bonadeo, this year's field of NAHA entries was record-breaking in terms of quantity and quality.

"We and our panel of renowned global artists who served as judges were impressed with the level of professionalism and creative vision captured in the stunning photos," Bonadeo said.
