Enter Early
At Matrix Mannequin Mania It pays off to be an early bird, or an early popper like Dr. Lew would say. Semi-finalists will be chosen monthly and entries not selected as semi-finalists in a given month will automatically be included for the next month's round... so the earlier you enter the longer your mannequin will be in the running! Final date to submit entries is July 31, 2010.
Enter Often
Did you know that there is no limit to the number of entries you can submit? Yes, you read correctly. So how about you give that mannequin with the beautiful cut and color a new style and enter again! Have more than one mannequin? Enter them all! We want them all to be part of the Mania! Show America what you've got!
Let your pictures tell the real story
Make sure the pictures you submit pay justice to your masterpiece. Your mannequin is 3D − so we want at least 3 pictures!

Unleash your creativitiy
No matter what brands or products are used, or maniacal styles created, everyone is welcome to enter the mania. Plus, we encourage you to use any props or tricks you have up your sleeve (as long as your pictures are not digitally altered of course). That means whether you want to use features, ribbons, extensions... even aluminum foil... take advantage of the fact that your mannequin won't talk back, so don't hold back!
