The ‘Glamour’ Beauty and Wellness Awards 2026 Submission Guidelines
Choosing the winners involves digging into product claims, clinical studies, and the science behind them, and—in the absence of judges who have used a product or procedure—seeking out specialists and patients who are familiar with it. Submissions under this category are open to any and all products and in-office treatments and procedures and have no launch date requirements.
Given the rigorous research that goes into awarding these winners, Beauty Innovators submissions require a $495 per product entry fee, which can be paid HERE. The fee is indicative of the additional time, effort, and energy required in determining the winner. Once completed, please send a receipt of payment to beautyawards@glamour.com.
By submitting an entry to the Beauty Innovators Awards, you accept and agree to these Terms & Conditions, as they may be updated from time to time without prior written notice and in our sole discretion.
