Aveda Institute Canada Seeks User Generated Media From Youth That’s Born To Style.
Post by Robert Campbell on Jan 31, 2013
Once again in 2013, Canada’s top professional hair school, AVEDA Institute challenges young people to step up and prove they were born to style on home video. They did this last year too, and it was very well received; I went to the showdown in Toronto. Making a User Generated Media UGM challenge around hair school is a great way to share the creativity and sell the dream of being a professional stylist and this is a smart social media engagement from many different angles.
Here’s Winnipeg’s 2012 Winner, Robyn Thompson with a cheque symbolizing her full ride scholarship awarded last year. The Aveda Institute blogger did a good job just recently summarizing her last year in Catching Up With Winnipeg’s #BornToStyle 2012 Winner, Robyn Thompson.
Are you Born to Style? Prove it.

Last Year’s Hair Showdown in Toronto was Thrilling to Watch
Jen McNeely of She Does The City was one of the three judges, seen above beside Ray Civello in the center. She summarized the evening in her article, Born To Style at Aveda Institute had young aspiring hairdressers compete for a $10,000 scholarship. which I linked to in my own article on 2012 AVEDA Institute Hair School Scholarship Showdown on Delectably Chic.
I borrowed this last picture from Wedding Girl’s post about the 2012 Born To Style Hair Showdown in Toronto which has two pictures of me in my favourite green shirt.
