2020 Barbershopper of the Year Nominations Now Open

Nominations are now open for two national awards!

The National Barbershopper of the Year award is back - and starting this year, we’re proud to dedicate it to the legendary John Grant. John was a legend of British barbershop, and this award aims to recognise someone who has made a significant contribution to our community.

We’re also very proud to be announcing a new award: The Joe Berry Young Barbershopper of the Year. This award is dedicated to an exemplary young barbershopper, and will be presented to someone under the age of 26.

Nominations close on 31st December 2020. All nominees must be BABS Members, and anyone nominated for the Joe Berry award must have their 26th birthday in 2021 or later.
