The results are in…
Yes, it is with much anticipation we announce the 2026 finalists for The Colour World Genius Awards. The bar has once again been raised across our 400+ entries. The standard of work has been nothing short of exceptional, making the judging process tougher than ever before.
As always, our finalists were selected by an esteemed jury of expert colourists and industry professionals, who had one helluva tough job on their hands, they’ve told us just how tough it was this year. We will be celebrating our finalist on 29th June at our Colour World Party. Tickets are on sale HERE
