Training and Education Awards 2025

Back and better than ever, previously known as the TAOTY - Training Academy of the Year, it’s time to get your nominations in for the Training and Education Awards 2025 by LashBase.

It doesn't matter if you are new to the lash training and education world or if you think you’re still quite small, we hope to shine a light on the most deserving and passionate trainers within the industry.

What are the LashBase Training and Education Awards?

At LashBase we’re all about giving back and celebrating the lash community. There are so many amazing lash educators and training schools around who all deserve recognition, and we want you to shout about them! We want to recognize and give a boost to the best of the best, that are helping improve the lash industry!

This year we have 3 categories:

There will be one winner per category and each winner will receive a winner's trophy, a $100 LashBase gift card, a winner's interview blog, promotion on our LashBase social channels and worldwide recognition!

How do I nominate?

To nominate a trainer or training academy for any of the above categories, simply click the link below and nominate the person you believe deserves to be shortlisted. Remember you can nominate an educator or training academy for more than one category.

The deadline for nominations will be 30th April 2025

Once the nominations are all in, we will then announce the educators and academies who have made the shortlist. Voting will then open again to decide the winner. There will be 4 trainers/academies shortlisted per category.

Voting will close on 30th May 2025, with the winners being announced on 5th June 2025 

And the best about it all is that there are no admin fees, no certificate fees, or ceremony contributions! Just good honest nominations and fair voting – that’s all we ask.

How will the winners be chosen?

We know that getting people to vote for you can be a skill in itself, which is unfair on some. That’s why we also use a panel of judges here at LashBase to help find the diamonds in the rough. Sure, the votes may get our attention, but we’re experienced enough to look deeper and give everyone a chance.

So, with all that being said, it’s time to get nominating! Don’t forget our awards are open to training schools, academies, and self-employed educators. Anyone who teaches can be nominated.

If you’re reading this and you’re thinking “I’m a trainer and I want to be nominated” don’t worry, we got you!

We’ve put together some marketing images below which you can use to help you get those nominations.

Thank you for showing your appreciation to all the amazing lash educators and academies out there.

Good Luck to Everyone!

It’s time to get your nominations in…
