01
How it works
What to expect, step by step.
01
Compete in the USA
Online entries will be submitted securely and judged anonymously. The five highest-scoring competitors in each category advance to its California final based on placement, without a separate minimum-score cutoff for this step. Nine categories use supervised latex online; the combined Henna / Dye / Lamination category uses Zoom-supervised live-model work.
02
Podium selection
At the California final, categories with at least five paid competitors may award first, second and third place and qualify eligible finishers to represent the United States in the Netherlands. Advancement requires the minimum score as well as placement; the score threshold and official scoring rules are still to be published.
03
The Open Championship route
WMC Open Championship is a separate entry opportunity at Eyebrow Festival for eligible artists, not automatic Team USA selection. A Browista USA podium placing is not required. The organizer has confirmed that this opportunity can be promoted throughout the USA. Check the international category rules, admission, entry costs and booking terms before committing.
04
Prepare for the international event
Review the detailed Eyebrow Festival entry requirements, travel arrangements and costs before committing.
