Businesses from the entire beauty ecosystem―from the largest multinationals to high-growth indies and from brands to suppliers―are welcome. The NEXT Awards provide a level playing field for recognition. Applications will be judged by an independent group of industry leaders based on relevancy, impact, and innovation.
The BeautyMatter NEXT Awards encapsulate the breadth of the content we’ve created and curated since our inception and the community that has supported our efforts.

The NEXT Awards are about creating a level playing field that is inclusive of the entire beauty ecosystem. We’ve assembled a prestigious panel of judges committed to transparency and impartiality. The judges are chosen based on their diversity of experience, deep category knowledge, and insatiable curiosity.
There are plenty of people doing product awards well, so rather than jumping on the bandwagon or trying to reinvent the wheel, we looked for the white space in how our industry recognizes exceptional potential and were guided by a mandate of inclusivity. The NEXT Awards are rooted in the opportunity to recognize the entire BeautyMatter community and reflect the diverse contributions of the global beauty ecosystem in moving our industry forward. We are looking for the most brilliant brands, service providers, suppliers, and people pushing the limits of creativity and possibilities to build what’s next in beauty.
