From the 700 entries, 20 creative photographic submissions created by 18 talented stylists were named finalists of the prestigious competition 

The 710 guests in attendance, including the icons of the hairdressing and fashion world, were entertained by a fashion parade of Arthur Galan's SS2011 collection,  featuring up and coming model, Nick Bracks and Hawthorn footballer, Josh Gibson.
