THE CONCEPT
Top Model of Colour Nigeria represents a nationwide model search for one male and female Top Model. Entries are in any area of modelling i.e. Commercial, Editorial or Runway. By running the competition in this way TMC Nigeria eliminates the age long taboo that modelling is only for high fashion runway models. Our competition opens doors to a whole spectrum of intelligent and attractive personalities and future potential supermodels.
The criteria for selection is not just striking physical features but includes Character, Heart and a strong Sense of Self; all of which radiate and is reflected on the model’s outward appearance. The model search activities and publicity occurs over a eight month period and spans across five regional locations covering the entire country. At the end, a winner emerges and is declared the Top Model of Colour Nigeria.
Prizes for the winner and runners up include modelling contracts worth up to $20,000, a brand new car and many other exciting prizes. The different phases and timings of “Top Model of Colour Nigeria 2010” model search are as follows:
