Second Life Top Model - could it be you?

Just over a year ago I entered a model competition that changed my Second Life, and took my career to a whole new level. And now it's time for me to pass my title on. The Second Life Top Model Competition is running for the second year, and this time it will be even bigger and better than the first.

The SL Top Model Competition is a pure modelling contest, it's about styling and presenting looks that will wow your audience and make them want to run to the stores to buy everything you're wearing. It's about showing versatility and creativity as a model. It's a great opportunity for any model who wants to be challenged to show his or her very best, every time. I would encourage any model who wants to take their career to the top to have a go. And good luck to you if you do!


Here's the casting notice:

The TOP MODEL COMPETITION is open to all models in SL, male, female, from any agency, including former Miss and Mister Virtual World candidates, and previous Top Model competition finalists. You need a genuine hunger for success as a top model, and the look, style and runway posing abilities to sell any outfit.

The TOP MODEL competition is organised by BOSL, but the judges will be some of the best designers in SL, plus some of the fashion industry's most seasoned professionals. This is your chance to be seen by some of the most successful designers and influential people in the SL fashion world.

The winner will secure contracts with some of SL's best known designers, be on the cover and have a fashion spread in BOSL Magazine, walk in BOSL Fashion Week shows and receive a package of other rewards including magazine interviews and professional photographs.

Let's see if you have what it takes to be SL's Top Model!

Here are the steps to follow:
                                                 
1. Join "the Best of SL Magazine Readers"  group to get the most current contest information.

4. A 512x512 or 1024x1024 raw snapshot FULL PERM HEAD SHOT (LABEL - TOP MODEL - YOUR NAME - HEAD)

And include in the folder.

5. A notecard (full perm) called "I AM A TOP MODEL [YOUR NAME]" With your model resume, including details of your formal model training, agency affiliations, runway and print experience, plus your Flickr and blog URLs (if any).

6. Send the folder to Locuala Madruga by MIDNIGHT SLT on Sunday,  25th May.
