Competition Time! Show Us Your Vivids 2016 Contest by Pravana

Now’s the time to unleash your artistry and create color beyond your wildest dreams! PRAVANA is excited to announce the return of the Show Us Your VIVIDS Contest!

Beginning May 1, students and stylists are invited to enter their brightest, head-turning color creations for a chance to win! The first place winner will get their own editorial-style photo shoot in Los Angeles, a feature in a national magazine, PRAVANA product and more! This year, PRAVANA is adding even more exciting prizes to the first place winner’s package that will be announced throughout the duration of the contest.

In addition to PRAVANA’s current collection of VIVIDS, PASTELS, NEONS and Locked-In hair colors, participants can also incorporate the three all-new VIVIDS Jewels shades that hit the market this May for even greater creative opportunities. Submissions will be accepted through June 30 and winners will be announced July 15 through PRAVANA’s social media outlets, website, e-mail blasts and more, reaching a combined community of over one million subscribers!

Erica Keelen, winner of the 2015 Show Us Your VIVIDS Contest, created her entry using ChromaSilk Crème Hair Color and VIVIDS (see above), drawing inspiration from Van Gogh’s famous masterpiece Starry Night. PRAVANA’s Artistic Color Director Vadre Grigsby noted that for Keelen’s technique, the “color combination required different levels of lift to achieve the vibrancy. The pre-VIVIDS application work was done perfectly.” Keelen’s creative color placement, polished styling and stunning overall effect embodied the spirit of the contest, bringing home her first place win. “This contest changed my career!” said Keelen. “My photos went viral and within two months, I had gained over 5,000 new followers on Instagram!” Her entry went on to be featured on PRAVANA’s website, brochures, social media and more. In addition, the imagery from her winning photo shoot is now featured in the new VIVIDS Jewels campaign (photo attached). Her stunning color work has been shared by national beauty publications, both in print and online as well as via social media.
