Entries have opened for The Business of Beauty Global Awards 2025. This year the awards will honour six entrepreneurs shaping the future of the global beauty industry, selected by BoF’s expert editors and a jury of top industry leaders.

Based on learnings and feedback from last year's awards, BoF is introducing two application tracks, recognising beauty founders at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey.

• The Emerging Track will honour founders whose companies have generated a minimum of USD $250,000 and a maximum of USD $2 million (or equivalent in other currencies) in revenue in the last 12 months. 
• The Breakthrough Track will honour founders whose companies have generated a minimum of USD $2 million and a maximum of USD $10 million (or equivalent in other currencies) in revenue in the last 12 months. 

The three award categories include:

• Creative Execution: Entrepreneurs with unique brand concepts based on the creative execution of their products, packaging and marketing strategies, creating a demonstrable source of competitive advantage.
• Business Innovation: Entrepreneurs with innovative business models, demonstrating clear business momentum supported by strong financials.
• Positive Impact: Entrepreneurs that have demonstrably started conversations with a positive impact, creating dialogue and provoking fresh ideas and ways of thinking.
