Some of you may already know that I’m giving up my post as “The Competition Insider” at the end of the year. It’s really been great to have this place here where I can share my experiences and expertise with anyone that has an interest in nail competitions. I feel that with NAILS Magazine’s help, I’ve opened the door for other nail competition-related industry insiders and soon-to-be competitors and enabled them to see their own paths through the nail competition world materialize. Well, I hope that anyways. And of course I’ve experienced my own personal growth here as well.

So with all that being said, NAILS Magazine is now recruiting for a group of “Insiders” to fill this space next year. Do you think you have what it takes to write a blog for our industry’s own NAILS Magazine? Well, believe me, you don’t have to be a natural-born writer; I certainly am not one. But what I do have is a passion for competition and a desire to share my story with others. If you’re interested in contributing to the nail competition world by sharing your ideas and knowledge and experiences, please contact Tim Crowley (tim.crowley@bobit.com) at NAILS Magazine and let him know.
