There are many ways of starting a career in entertainment and you have to decide right from the start which is best for you if you really want to be a model and get discovered. Modeling contests is one avenue to consider.
Entering contests with other models is a way to get noticed but remember to keep an eye out. This is especially true if you are a beginner in the industry. Where are the competitions? You will find plenty of local and international modeling contests available with just a bit of searching.
Major modeling agencies continually hold these events in order to find new talent, which can make them money. But, beware of entering on a whim – follow some advice from those who know.
Now, on to the marketplace. One company who is well known is IMTA (not promoting them personally). This modeling contest is worldwide and open to kids and adults interested in modeling. Runway modeling, swim suit, commercial and other types of modeling are covered here.
Agencies are represented and models have a chance to meet with many of them. Make certain the agency representative has your portfolio cd or other contact information before you leave the contest. Now they can file your comp for future reference. This competition, although stiff, can help further your career if played the right way.
Expense can be a factor when entering modeling competition. Dollars involved? a hundred? a thousand? Could be either! Do some research of all expense before traveling to a contest.
Don’t think more expensive is always better. Ask; “Are there going to be plenty of top list agents at this competition?” Now you’re increasing the odds in your favor! Spending money to get listed with an agency should not be your goal. This is one of the biggest mistakes many models make.
