“Don’t learn a lesson at the competition, get all your questions clarified beforehand to ensure a more satisfying experience.”

Nailympics Judging Basics

• In keeping with the Nailympics international status, every effort is made to ensure judges are a mix from around the world.
• In the event of a tie, the head judge’s score (Lysa Comfort) will determine the place.
• Judges meet prior to the competitions starting so all are clear on what they are judging and their responsibilities.
• The judging is blind, meaning only the models’ hands will be seen by each judge – with the exception of the Fantasy Nail Art competition.
• Models will be identified by numbers randomly assigned on the competition floor.
• Judges do not judge every aspect of the set.

Each judge is given 3-4 points out of 10 to judge. This way they can concentrate on a few aspects of the nails, rather than all.

• Judges will make every effort to be available for any questions /critique afterwards. (Not guaranteed)
• Judging sheets are made available to competitors after the awards ceremony.
• Any judging sheets not picked up after the competition will be sent out by the Nailympics administration team after the event.
• For any ties falling below 10th place will simply be listed in alphabetical order.
• Please read all of the rules and get clarification on any you are not 100% certain of, this is your responsibility.
• If you compete and are judged with a deduction due to a rule that you did not interpret the way it was meant, it’s too late to change this at the competition.

Judge’s decisions are final and all entries are judged on the exact same criteria.
