Some 50 semi-finalists will compete tonight for 12 places at the Finals in Singapore. The winner of the Singapore Finals will then fly to the Elite Global Final in Shanghai and then to Paris, sharing $350,000 worth of contracts and other prizes.
Semi-finals tonight at Ion Orchard Level 1 Alfresco from 7-10 pm
The semi-finalists were culled from almost a thousand applicants aspiring to follow in the footsteps of top supermodels like Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford – big names which Elite has discovered and represented.
The casting for the competition were held earlier this month from 8th to 23rd October at Vivocity and Ion Orchard. Contestants had to be aged 15 to 21 and at least 170 cm or 5’7 tall.
An iphone application will be launched to allow members of the public to view and vote for their favourite contestants.
The Elite Model Look competition is a world renowned and prestigious international modelling contest. It is the primary vehicle for finding new models for Elite Model Management, which is headquartered in Paris.
Since 1983, the competition has been conducted in over 50 countries around the world and has now reached Singapore. 350,000 girls around the world enter the competition every year, but only a few make it onto the world’s catwalks and magazine photoshoots.
Elite found many of the world’s supermodels through Elite Model Look, including Gisele Bundchen, Karen Mulder, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and more recently, Fei Fei Sun, Constance Jablonski, Ming Xi and Sigrid Agren.
Elite Model Look, in exclusive partnership with Elite Model Management Singapore, gives a chance to girls in Singapore, who dream of becoming models, to realise their ambitions by competing to work with the top model agency network in the world.
