For the second year, NAHA will take place during the International Salon and Spa Expo (ISSE) show on January 25, 2020. Each year, artists and industry professionals submit their work, which often takes months of planning, shooting and editing, and are judged by a blind panel of judges, many of which were selected through a call for new judges for 2020. Finalists are chosen by an anonymous process with no contact between judges or knowledge of artist names to ensure anonymity and fairness, enabling a true celebration of excellence, creativity, and technical ability.
