Except for sports massage, in the classic massage category, contestants will apply all the details of a classic massage. Similarly, in the spa wellness massage category, contestants can participate by choosing one of the massages that find application in spas, including Far Eastern massages that involve specific rituals. The facial massage category, like sports massage, involves a specialized method. Therefore, contestants can compete only by performing facial massages, including classic facial massage and other holistic facial massages.<\/p>\n<p>First, second, and third place winners in all categories will be awarded trophies, medals, and surprise prizes. All participants will receive a certificate of participation. From the opening day of the fair, therapists who wish to do so can offer massages to fair participants in their designated area for 50 TL per minute. They can keep 25 TL for the fair organization and 25 TL for themselves, thus strengthening their own brand awareness and attracting clients through direct advertising.<\/p>\n<p>Contestants will be able to enter the fair free of charge with their photo badges starting from the opening day. They can obtain their badges from the entrance reception on and after the opening day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Tarih:<\/strong>&nbsp;18 \u2013 19 Eyl\u00fcl 2026 Cuma \/ &nbsp;Cumartesi<br>\r\n<strong>Yer:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u0130zmir Fuar Merkezi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sport Massage<\/li>\n<li>Classic Massage<\/li>\n<li>Spa Wellness Massage<\/li>\n<li>Face Massage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Rewards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Trophies, medals, and surprise gifts will be awarded to the first, second, and third-place winners in both categories.
