Scratch Snap May 2026: a winner and a design brief
Contest round: May 2026. Source: 1 June 2026; checked 4 October 2026.
Scratch named Shuonan Chen, owner of the New York home salon Suni Nail, as the May 2026 Scratch Snap winner. Rebecca Hitchon’s 1 June 2026 report identifies the brief, judges and prize, making this a documented monthly contest result rather than a general trend forecast. [1]
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The winner and the brief
The monthly brief asked entrants worldwide for salon-style designs inspired by Awards Glamour. Scratch places Chen in Long Island City and identifies her salon as Suni Nail. The result belongs to that May round: neither the location nor the theme makes it a ranking of New York salons. [1]
Judges, feedback and prize
The judges were Jessica White, a Timely ambassador, and Scratch editor Rebecca Hitchon. White’s published feedback emphasised the design’s response to the brief and balance of creativity with salon appeal. The reported prize was an iPad plus £250 in Timely subscription credit; it was not a cash prize of £250. [1]
