What is the Compassionate Category?

The Skin Games is looking for Beauty Professionals who are making a difference. The Compassionate Category helps to bring awareness to those in the Beauty Industry who through their leadership are helping their communities and the world as a whole. It is well known that people are much more likely to perform Acts of Compassion when they have witnessed others doing so.

The Skin Games- Compassionate Category is offering the opportunity to highlight all the great things you and/or your business are doing to make the world a better place. This year we are introducing two options for you to compete in this category.

Option A- This is for those who are working with a nonprofit or have a nonprofit. This category will have a larger prize structure and the money must go to a legal 501C3.

Option B- This is for those of you who are performing acts of compassion using your own resources. The prize structure will be smaller and is intended to support you in future Acts of Compassion.

How do I compete in the Compassionate Category?

1. Submit five (5) one-minute videos showing the following:

1st video: Introduce yourself, your business, the type of work you do and the city/state in which you do it.

2nd Video: Introduce your act of compassion, what you do and who you do it for.

3rd Video: Demonstrate or show yourself in your act of compassion.

4th Video: Testimonial from someone you have helped or interview with someone from the organization you are helping. If anonymity is a concern, you may read a letter, or present them without face and or name.
