No brand, retailer, or service concept achieves success on its own. Every company needs visionary leadership, a strong team, and an ecosystem of best-in-class suppliers to thrive, but sometimes essential industry contributors are overlooked. BeautyMatter's NEXT Awards are designed to raise the bar and define the future of beauty, ensuring a level playing field for the best pioneers of beauty.
Created to celebrate an industry that has supported BeautyMatter's efforts over the past 6.5 years, the NEXT Awards are open to everyone, from the largest multinationals and high-growth indies to brands and suppliers. Using the learnings from last year and feedback from the community, we've increased the number of awards to 60+ over the six categories—Visionaries, Impact, Design/Marketing, Retail, Innovation and Agencies/Solutions Providers.
"With everything we do, our first goal is how do we bring value to our community, and our second objective is finding whitespace either in opportunity or approach," said Kelly Kovack, founder and CEO of BeautyMatter. "There is no shortage of awards for brands and products in the beauty and wellness space that are done very well. Our goal with the NEXT Awards is to provide a level playing field, a transparent process, and opportunities to honor the achievements of our entire community that represents the industry ecosystem.”

As an industry, we are hyper-focused on newness. While recency is important in some categories, it is not in others. For instance, when a technology or impact initiative launches an idea, it takes time to validate the effect and success. New doesn't always mean better, and some things take time.
There is very literally an award for everyone that does business in the beauty industry. Get recognized for the extraordinary work you and your team are doing. Learn more here.
