I was recently approached by one of my 'tweeties' (@DJBlue_UK), who told me about Mr and Mrs Runway, which is a live modelling competition. It received a great reception last year including a BEEFTA Award nomination, so I was excited that it was making a much anticipated comeback in 2011!!
The competition consists of 4 auditions and an online vote, only 15 girls and 15 guys will make it through to the Quarter-Finals (Live Show). The competition takes place over the course of 3 weeks and at the end of each week an intense elimination process will take place and a number of male and female contestants will be voted off (by judges & audience) , while the remaining contestants stay on another week to battle for the crown!!
The decision criteria goes beyond just how well you can walk and pose. Professionalism during training sessions and the competition are considered as well as how your personality radiates throughout. Creativity is one of the definitive features of Mr and Mrs Runway which makes it stand out from other modelling competitions.
The prizes include lucrative modelling contracts, a holiday abroad, a spread in a top magazine as well as opportunities to be involved in major fashion shows, this is a huge opportunity for any up and coming hopefuls looking to make their first footprint into the modelling world!
So aspiring models should apply ASAP (www.mrandmrsrunway.co.uk/apply)
The show will be spread across three creatively themed weeks, filled with hardcore choreography and a range of theatrical concepts. There will be live performances from a variety of artists, bands and dance groups strategically fitted to compliment each themed week. Mr and Mrs Runway is defintely one NOT to miss!
If like me you want to watch this exciting show unravel, Bush Hall in Shepherd Bush will host the Quarter and Semi-Finals on 7th and 14th August, while the Grand Final will be held in the newly refurbished Camden Centre on 21st August.
In addition, Streamline Empire is working in association with youth organisation '
Options 4 Change', which aims to build awareness of available opportunities to excel as well as provide a platform for young people to develop their talents and interests away from the streets. A percentage of the proceeds from this competition will be donated to
Options 4 Change, to help them achieve this goal and better the community.
