Are you Smashbox’s Next Top NZ Artist?

Last year at New Zealand Fashion Week, Smashbox Cosmetics proved to be a beauty force to be reckoned with when they took charge backstage at shows like Nom*D, Stitch Ministry (pictured*) and Federation. This year they’ll be back for more, and are holding a nationwide competition to find the next Smashbox PRO Artist – just in time for NZ Fashion Week 2010. To apply for this potentially career-defining competition, entrants are required to supply three shots of their best work and 100 words explaining why they should win. The winning artist will work backstage alongside the Smashbox Pro Team at NZ Fashion Week, working on nine shows throughout the week, including Sera Lily, GHD Contemporary and IBM Designer Selection shows. The winner will also assist on editorial and photo shoot work post-Fashion Week, and be professionally trained by a senior Smashbox PRO Artist. Last but by no meansleast, they will take home $500 worth of Smashbox goodies for their kit and receive exclusive benefits and pro membership discounts on all Smashbox products. It’s a rare chance to work with the best of the best artists, designers, stylists and models in the country, interacting directly with true industry heavyweights. Artists can email their entries to neisha@smashboxcosmetics.co.nz or in physical form to 7c Taylors Road, St Lukes, Auckland. All entrants must be at least 16 years of age and available in Auckland between the 20–26th of September to take part in NZ Fashion Week with the Smashbox team. The contest closes on September 1, and finalists will be notified the following day.
