Reader exhibitions and events offer the ultimate opportunity to bring our brands alive with consumers. They also provide our commercial partners with even more opportunities to reach out and interact with our readers.
Shows and events include:
Cosmopolitan
The Cosmopolitan annual Beauty Awards set the industry benchmark by celebrating the best beauty products on the market. Since 2003, the Awards have become a much-loved and essential buying guide for our readers as well as a highly coveted prize. Every year readers vote in their thousands for their favourite products which are combined with votes from a judging panel of celebrity and industry experts. The result - the very best from every element of beauty, from hair styling and treatments, to fragrances, skin care and tools.
The Ultimate Women of the Year awards celebrate Cosmopolitan's core mission - to inspire women to be the best they can be. Every year Cosmopolitan honours the women who really make a difference, who break boundaries, who help those in need and who have been fast-tracked in their field. Readers vote for the women they believe have been the most fun, fearless and fabulous over the past year. It is then left to a panel of judges, all movers and shakers in their own right, to pick the winners from the short-list to attend the glamorous awards ceremony.
