I'm shortlisted - what happens next?
Share your entry with your social media contacts and encourage them to vote, adding the hashtag #iibawards. If you mention our Twitter (@infobeautyaward) and Facebook we'll try to RT and share as much as we can.
We'll be emailing all shortlistees with next steps including invites to the London ceremony on Tues 28 Nov. If you're shortlisted but haven't heard from us by Fri 27 Oct, it's probably because we don't have up-to-date contacts for you – so drop us a line.
Not shortlisted but want to find out the results live - and brush shoulders with the winners - at the London ceremony? For the first time we’re making available a limited number of tickets (including canapés and a welcoming drink) - book here.
