More than 20 years ago, the fi rst installation of the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards decided to open the competition to artisans everywhere, not just remain solely within Local 706. There is no other awards show like ours. Even though there are phenomenal artists throughout the world, only the MUAHS Guild Awards recognize the unique talents only in our crafts. The Oscar goes to make-up and hair artistry for feature fi lms, the Emmy for television, but the Artisan is awarded to outstanding talent not only in those categories, but for theater, daytime television, commercials and music videos and children's and teens programming. Make-up artists and hair stylists around the world have responded seeking the ultimate recognition—the acknowledgment of outstanding work, voted upon by their peers in Local 706. Over the years, we had submissions from all over the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, China, Brazil and Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. Our beautiful gold statue is coveted and appreciated. This year, we live-streamed the 8th Annual MUAHS Guild Awards and it was viewed by an estimated 10,000 BY SUE CABRAL-EBERT THE GUILD AWARDS GO WORLDWIDE THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2021 • 25 8 T H A N N U A L M A K E - U P A R T I S T S & H A I R S T Y L I S T S G U I L D A W A R D S From top: Host Anthony Anderson; Red Carpet host Sibley Scoles with Anderson; Local 706 President Julie Socash; Busines Representative Randy Sayer.
