KBC Awards Cambodia 2025

The KBC Awards Cambodia 2025 is set to be one of Southeast Asia’s most prestigious beauty events, taking place on August 16-17 at the luxurious Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel & Residence. With a mission to elevate beauty industry standards in Cambodia and the region, this two-day event brings together elite professionals, educators, competitors and brands from around the world.

Organised by Erika Ramonaite, the KBC Awards is not just a competition – it’s a movement. It combines the thrill of international-level championships with the depth of a professional beauty conference, offering participants and attendees an unforgettable experience of growth, inspiration and connection.

The competition: where talent meets opportunity

The live and online championship portion on August 16 features multiple categories in nails, permanent makeup (PMU), lashes, hair and makeup. Professionals from across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas will compete under the eyes of an internationally acclaimed panel of judges. Categories include live model work, on a floor INBOX entries and online submissions providing opportunities for both emerging artists and seasoned champions.

With expert judges from over 15 countries including Italy, Romania, Japan, Brazil, the UK and beyond, this is more than a local event – it’s a global beauty stage. Competitors will not only receive awards and medals, but also recognition from industry leaders and international networks.

The conference: education from global icons

On August 17, the KBC Conference takes centre stage. Attendees will experience live demonstrations, interactive presentations and educational talks from global beauty icons. Topics range from advanced nail artistry, PMU techniques and lash styling formula trends to innovative hair methods.

Speakers such as Rachel Fernanda (Brazil), Pamela Leyva (Mexico), Ilona Kricka (UK) and Rodica and Dan Munteanu (Italy/Romania) will share exclusive insights that can’t be found in textbooks. This is a rare opportunity for Cambodian and regional beauty professionals to learn directly from the masters, network with peers and gain inspiration to take their careers to the next level.

Beyond the stage: a cultural and professional exchange

The KBC Awards Cambodia 2025 is more than just a competition or conference – it’s a cultural exchange that celebrates diversity and unity through beauty. As the industry becomes more globalised, events like this play a crucial role in building bridges between artists, trainers and beauty brands from every corner of the world.

With Cambodia’s growing influence in the beauty world, this event marks a powerful step forward in putting the Kingdom on the global beauty map.
