Harper's BAZAAR Launches Sixth Annual Fabulous at Every Age Reader Contest

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - March 29, 2016) -  Harper's BAZAAR announced the launch of its sixth annual Fabulous at Every Age reader search (FAEA), presented once again in partnership with Estée Lauder and Saks Fifth Avenue. Together, they are sweeping the nation, searching for women ages 20 to 60+, who personify all things fabulous including style, beauty, and a passion for life. 

For the second year in a row, women can enter the contest by posting a photo of themselves -- or the woman they are nominating -- on Instagram with the hashtag #FabAtEveryAgeContest, including their age and why they're fabulous in the caption, or by visiting FabAtEveryAge.com, an all-new mobile-optimized website. 

Harper's BAZAAR editors will select five finalists, each representing a decade between 20 and 60+, who will receive a $5,000 cash prize and be honored at a VIP awards celebration in New York City at Le Bernardin Privé where one grand-prize winner is announced and gifted an additional $5,000. Finalists will also take home two complete looks from this year's fashion partner Theory, have their photographs appear in an upcoming issue of Harper's BAZAAR, and go on an exclusive tour of the Estée Lauder headquarters.

"We are excited to launch our Fabulous at Every Age reader search with Estée Lauder and Saks Fifth Avenue for the sixth consecutive year," said Alexandra Parnass, Beauty Director for Harper's BAZAAR. "We look forward to spotlighting our readers, highlighting their style and beauty and celebrating these truly fabulous women."

"The partnership between Estée Lauder and Harper's BAZAAR joins two iconic brands that personify glamour, heritage and integrity at every age," said Patricia Lopez, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Estée Lauder, North America. "We are proud to be part of the Fabulous at Every Age reader search for the sixth year."
