Since 1983, Elite Model Management, the most important model agency in the world, has been organizing an international competition under the name Elite Model Look. This competition has become the most prestigious springboard for talents in to the model industry.
Throughout the years, the Elite Model Look has launched the career of super models such as Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Karen Mulder, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Tatjana Patizs, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen and many more. They made their first steps in modelling thanks to the Elite Model Look and revealed many of the more famous industry superstars. In addition, Elite Model Management is the official model agency of, and provides the prize for, the most successful reality show in model industry, America’s Next Top Model, hosted and produced by Miss Tyra Banks former model of Elite Model Management.
Elite Model Management created the largest model scouting network in the industry and today it has agencies in over the five continents and represents more than 2000 international models.
Each year, the Elite Model Look competition sees over 350.000 contestants attending regional and national castings, taking place in more than 58 different countries with at least one contestant of each country participating in the main event – the world final.
The competition is made of several high profile stages. Through an intensive and rigorous selection process, this drives them from regional castings to a national final, giving the opportunity to a model to make her dream come true and become tomorrow’s super model.
The Elite Model Look has arrived in Ireland and for the very first time, one lucky Irish contestant will represent the country in China in October 2010’s final and demonstrate the beauty and charm of Irish women to the world.
Here in Ireland our Elite Model Look team launched a nationwide tour beginning in May, casting hundred of contestants in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Dublin and Belfast. And they will do it all again next year.
