Colour World did things a little different this year when it came to the Genius Awards. Because of lockdown, and salons having to close this was the first year that applicants were allowed to submit entries on doll-heads. And that wasn’t the only change… In 2020 we saw Instagram Reels take the world by storm. That’s why the People’s choice category became a Reel posted on @colourworlduk – receiving almost half a million view across all entries – WOWZA!
With more entries than ever before, the 50 judges really had their work cut out. Let’s find out who made it to the finals (drum roll please)
