Cosmoprof North America (CPNA), in collaboration with Beauty Packaging Magazine, announced the winners of the first annual Beauty Innovation & Design Awards (BeautyID Awards) during the Cosmoprof North America 2017 event, as part of a ceremony held on July 10th, at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Recognizing creativity in package design, material and product formulation, the Beauty ID Awards were open to the industry at large with both suppliers and finished goods manufacturers applying. All cosmetic product categories (hair, nail, skin, color, personal care, fragrance and sustainability) across professional, prestige and mass market segments were recognized.
 
Each entry was evaluated and judged based on the unique combination of distinctive design and user functionality. The esteemed panel of judges included leaders from: Aware Products, Badger Winters, Barneys New York, Clemson University, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), HATCHBEAUTY, Mary Kay, Mintel, MSLK, Stylus, ThisThatBeauty and Walsh House.
 
A total of 12 awards were given at the inaugural ceremony. The judges selected one winner from each category as well as one Grand Award winner. An additional award, for Audience Choice, was selected by the public through online voting and over 3,500 individuals cast their vote. Unique to BeautyID, all winners walked away with a business-building prize package valued at over $10,000 from sponsors: Adduco Communications Inc., Empauer, Raise 3D, Stylus and The Brain Trust. Additional prizes were also provided by Beauty Packaging Magazine and CPNA. 
 
All finalists were featured at the award winning B2B CPNA 2017 event, giving further exposure to award participants. In addition to onsite diplays, finalists were also featured on TV screens throughout the show floor and in-room for guests at Mandalay Bay and Delano hotel.
