#16: The Nail Olympics
Who could have predicted in ancient Greece that nails would join the competitive category some centuries later? We bet no one, yet Nailympia is a derivative of the Olympics, but for nails. It is the world’s leading nail competition organization, and there are even gold medalists for these contests. Since they are strictly non-product runs, these contests are a major attraction online and in the beauty industry.

This might seem silly to an outsider, but for those who are competing, it means everything – an excellent nail mosaic. The competition has 14 different nail categories, and anyone from anywhere in the world can sign up for it. The prizes include the said gold medal and cash, along with a feature in the Scratch magazine.
