Entry Categories & Fees
Six Recognition Fields. One Clear Entry Fee Structure.
IBA uses an entry-based fee structure. One entry means one subject of recognition. A founder, brand, product, salon, manufacturer, or service provider may each be submitted separately when each subject deserves independent recognition.
| Recognition Field | Best For | Fee Per Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Beauty Professionals | Founders, educators, artists, experts, consultants, creators, salon owners, beauty professionals | €780 |
| Beauty Brands | Skincare brands, cosmetics brands, fragrance brands, haircare brands, spa brands, device brands, professional-line brands | €1,180 |
| Beauty Products | Skincare products, cosmetics, fragrances, haircare products, beauty devices, tools, treatment products, professional products | €1,080 |
| Beauty Salons & Centers | Beauty salons, spas, skin care centers, hair salons, nail studios, lash studios, aesthetic beauty centers, service institutions | €980 |
| Beauty Supply Chain & Manufacturing | Factories, OEM/ODM companies, ingredient suppliers, packaging providers, equipment companies, R&D partners, logistics, supply chain platforms | €1,280 |
| Beauty Industry Services & Enablement | Training institutions, consulting firms, marketing agencies, PR, media, SaaS, events, design, talent, operations, growth services | €980 |
Entry fees support administrative handling, category alignment, review coordination, result documentation, and official record preparation where applicable. Payment does not guarantee Nominee, Gold Award, or Grand Gold Award status.
Multiple Entries
One Applicant May Submit More Than One Entry
Each entry is reviewed independently. The applicant may submit a professional profile, a brand, a product, a salon, or another eligible subject as separate records when each subject has its own recognition field.
