Formidable panel of judges for body art contest

Press Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11/08/2013 | Budapest | Csillámvilág Body Art Kft. The panel of judges for the biggest body art contest of its kind has just been announced. And it is a veritable who's who from the world of beauty and body art. Each of the two categories - facepainting and glitter tattoos - shall be judged by an illustrious jury that includes Guido Danielle (one of the best bodypainters in the world), Claire Pick and Julie Oliver (co-editors of Illusion magazine, who will vote as one), Anita Polgár-Zsilák (Chief Editor of Beauty Forum), and Krisztina Soós (founder of glitterify.me). Short bios of the judges are included below. Uniquely, this contest is completely online. Usually facepainting and glitter tattoo contests are organized at bodypainting festivals. "Many amateur, aspiring, and even professional artists may not have the time or money to travel to these festivals," says Krisztina Soós, the CEO of CsillámVilág, the company behind the contest, "By taking everything - from announcement to submissions to results - online, we have leveled the playing field and enabled artists to compete worldwide." Summer months see the peak of activity in facepainting and glitter tattoos as kids, adults and families head to pools, beaches, barbeques, open-air parties and music festivals. Unfortunately, practically all bodypainting festivals take place in the summer too - creating a dilemma for the artists, as to whether to focus on their peak-season earnings or compete in contests. CsillámVilág's online contest rids them of this false choice - now, they can do both! "This is our way of spreading happiness and making the summer a little bit brighter in accordance with our company's motto - 'let's spread some smiles'", Ms. Soós says.
