This is the 3rd year that Gaschette will be running
their New Faces initiative, and marks the first time that the opportunity is
open to both the public AND modelling agencies via a viral social media
campaign. Entries are open to any young person under the age of 23 with less
than 1 year's modelling experience. Those signed to model agencies in the past
year are especially encouraged to enter.
The New Faces Of Joburg project is not a modelling
competition, but instead it was created as a platform for young and aspiring
models to be noticed by the fashion industry. It serves as a showcase of the
hottest young modelling talent available.
Hopefuls are required to share a postcard via
the Gaschette Facebook page and then upload their details along with a full
length image in the Model Search section of Gaschette's new Design Portal
website (T's and C's available HERE). The aim is to expose the campaign to a
broader section of the public in order to find the freshest new faces
available.
After the initial image upload round, the top
entries will be invited to attend a Gaschette New Faces casting round in
Johannesburg on 28 March 2014. From there the top 20 New Faces will be selected
to be featured in Gaschette Magazine issue 10, which will be released mid-April
2014. Those who make it past the casting round – but who don't already have
modelling contacts – will also be given the opportunity to be snatched up by
some of the country's top model agencies.
The New Faces of Joburg initiative is a fantastic
launch pad for a new model's career. Every year the campaign accumulates a
great amount of media attention and Gaschette's selection of New Faces from
previous years went on to tackle a range thrilling projects for both local and
international clients.
Only two weeks left to
enter! Entries close on Sunday 23 March. Enter HERE
