Thanks to all competitors! The standard was very high and this made the judging very difficult. However when you see all the entries in the magazine, we think you will agree with the winning photographs.

Unfortunately, we were unable to contact one of the judges so they were replaced by two other judges. This gave a nice balance of two well respected magazine editors and two experienced and respected competition judges.

We offer our grateful thanks to these very busy poeple for finding time to give their expertise ad making the competition possible.

Alex Fox, editor of Scratch magazine, UK
Carla Collier, international competition judge and educator, USA
Ella Sadovnikova, editor of Hands & Nails magazine, Ukraine
Lilia Birjuk, president of the Baltic Nails Association and international judge, Estonia
