2010 Technology Awards Logo

Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine will present the fifth International Technology Awards at In-Cosmetics in Paris, to be held April 13–15, 2010, to honor one new technology and one new technology launch for their impact on the cosmetics industry.

The New Technology Award will recognize a significant new technology launched from fall 2008–Dec. 1, 2009 for its importance and long-term impact on the industry. Similarly, the New Technology Launch Award will recognize the effect of a new technology launch (marketing campaign) on the industry, as well as its uniqueness.

Nominations for both awards must be submitted by Dec. 1, 2009, at which point they will be reviewed by an international council of R&D experts at leading cosmetic and personal care companies around the world. This council will select up to three finalists in each category and from those finalists, a separate industry jury will choose the winners. The winners will be announced at In-Cosmetics in Paris and will be profiled in Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine.
