All these eager models. Each will go home richer with the experience of living a model's busy life and career for a time. A few will also go home with a contract and some money in their pocket to jump start their modelling career. I'm excited and I hope they are too.
regards,

NB: A .5 bonus will be given to any entries that are in by the first date shown on the round brief or earlier . Could give you a greater chance to get ahead.

Up to 2 extra bonus points will also be added to one of your entries that have added extras, such as more accessories than asked for, or props, but only if it enhances the overall shots. The entry we deem most deserving for those 2 bonus points will be decided by the judges. It is more about your models but some extras can add character and style to your shots, and that shouldn't be ignored.

Just a reminder:
**Replication of the examples is not allowed they are only there for inspiration. If the judges after consultation believe that an entry has copied the example too closely, points can be taken off. Clothes, shoes, accessories are fine if you find similar things, but poses, hairstyles, makeup etc., We want to see your own remarkable creations.**

@Jendowoz0612
Updated my pics.

They can be on either white or CAS or transparent backgrounds, thanks for that reminder. I'd forgotten to specify that. Thank you. I will be cutting them out for the model wall anyway.

She looks gorgeous, @lasummerb


I added these anew just in case they didn't register on the other comment. Hope you can join us.
