2012 JASMINE AWARDS
Following the 2011 Jasmine Awards held in February this year, The Jasmine Awards Committee has discussed and agreed an extension of the prize structure. The Committee is delighted to announce the following changes for the 2012 awards, the oldest established and most prestigious in beauty journalism.
There will be a total of 10 main prizes to include two new categories. In future there will be two Jasmine Visual prizes. The current Jasmine Visual Award for the best visualisation of an article on fragrance continues. However, magazines which produce a creative and stylish page devoted to fragrance but which does not contain original editorial content will be able to enter the “Most Creative Jasmine Visual” Award.
The Best Website Feature on Fragrance will be re-named Best Digital Article and will reward excellent writing on the subject of fragrance – either on a website or blog. A second Digital prize will be awarded to reflect on-line pieces which combine creativity in concept and originality in layout and imagery to excite the reader and draw them into the site.
In addition, the article voted by the judging panel to be highly commended across all judging categories will win the “Judges’Recognition” prize. This prize is entirely at the judges’discretion and reflects the fact that in 2011, a number of articles were within the smallest margin of winning a prize.
The list of prizes, each winning a £1,000 cheque and a crystal trophy. is as follows:-
The Jasmine Literary Award for the Best Article over 800 words in a magazine
The Jasmine Literary Award for the Best Article over 800 words in news media.
The Jasmine Visual Award - presented for the best visualization of an article on the subject of fragrance (must carry more than 300 words).
The Jasmine Award for Most Creative Visual – no specific word count
The Jasmine Soundbite Award for the best short article in a magazine (minimum 300 words)
The Jasmine Soundbite Award for the best short article in news media (minimum 300 words)
The Jasmine Award for Best Practical Guide to Fragrance – any length
The Jasmine Award for Best Article in a Customer/'House' magazine – any length
The Jasmine Digital Award - judged on excellence in writing and originality.
The Jasmine Award for Best Digital Fragrance Experience – judged on creativity, style and content
The Judges’ Recognition Prize – the collective choice of the judging panel and considered the best runner-up across all categories.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED IN THE 2011 JASMINE AWARDS
WEDNESDAY 8th FEBRUARY 2012
The Jasmine Awards, the premier awards for journalists writing on the subject of fragrance, were held today at BAFTA, Piccadilly, London W1. Presiding over the event were the Chairman of the Jasmine Awards, Olivier Marret, Managing Director of Puig UK, and Peter Norman, Chairman of The Fragrance Foundation.
The 2011 judging panel comprised industry expert Joanna Norman, Chairman of Judges, fashion commentator Caryn Franklin, prize-winning English author Dr Rosalind Miles, British fashion designer Jenny Packham, Deborah Parrott, Senior Marketing Manager Fragrance and Beauty at Debenhams, and journalist and author Kathy Phillips. The following awards were announced:-

The judges elected to share the prize between two entries which they found equally deserving - Fleur Fruzza for "A Beautful Mind" in Harrod's magazine, November, and Lucille Howe for 'Bottle It' in the July/August issue of Ryanair magazine.
Best Website Feature on Fragrance:
The judges unanimously awarded the prize to 'Persolaise' for the London Perfume Shopping Guide on www.persolaise.com.

For the 'simplicity and tastefulness' of its presentation, Vogue was awarded the prize for "All Shook Up" in the magazine's December issue, and Wallpaper* was highly commended for the originality of its entry 'Nose in a Book'.
Jasmine Literary Award (news press):
The judges highly commended Lucia van der Post for her article 'The Scent Sorcerer' but decided that the winner should be Vicci Bentley for 'Eau to be in England' in the 7th May issue of FT How to Spend It magazine for its 'humorous and refreshingly pugnacious take in comparing perfume houses in England and France'.
Jasmine Literary Award (magazines):
The judges unanimously decided that Tony Marcus for 'Designer Fragrance: Art Reflecting Life' in the Spring edition of 10 magazine should be the winner.
Best of the Best Award:
A new prize awarded for the 2011 Awards saw Vicci Bentley rewarded again for her entertaining article 'Eau to be in England'.
Olivier Marret, Chairman of the Jasmine Awards, commented: 'We were delighted to see such a high quality of work in 2011 as well as increased entries particularly in Best Article in a Customer Magazine and Best Website Feature on Fragrance.
