I'm starting a new competition with more focus on the different beauty standards of the world. This competition is a modelling competition, and not a pageant competition. There will be creative challenges and you should have some experience in editing to get far. I'm currently searching two judges to judge with me. I'm hoping for 20 contestors to join before I'm starting the competition. The judges will then pick out fifteen members to go through to the first challenge. This means your applications are more important than in other competitions.

You have to create your sims in Sims 4 to be a part of this competition, and you also have to keep in mind that your model have realistic proportions and bodies. I'm hoping for a very diverse competion with models from around the world. When you reserve your spot, please tell me which country you want. To keep it as realtic as possible, the name of your model should be compatible to the country you choose, so if you choose a country that's not an english-speaking country it's not realistic that your model has an English name. If you're having trouble finding a name, just google it.I accept only female young adults, but your model can be plus-size if you want to.

Your entries will be judged by three judges, including your host which I will present later. Each round the four models with the highest scores go through to a poll, where everyone from contestors to members can vote for their favorite entry. The winner of the poll is the winner of the challenge. In each round there will also be an eliminated model, this will be the model with the lowest score. If there's more than one sharing the lowest scores the judges will again deliberate on who's going home. You can join with either one or two models each.

Leya was the hottest model out there in the late 90s and early 2000s. She is known for numerous spreads and covers in Vogue, Elle, Style Magazine and GQ. She is a british model, but her parents are both immigrants from Somalia.

    • You have to respect fellow contestants, do discuss all you want but as soon as the vibe is hostile I will shut it down. If I've told you to stop and you don't respect me you will be disqualified.
    • Please read the challenge thoroughly, you have the follow the brief for each challenge. If you fail to deliver according to the brief you might have to redo it, or even worse, you'll have to be disqualified.
    • I will grant you extensions, but this can't happen every time. If you're constantly asking me for extension I will eventually have to say no to everyone. So don't screw this up for everyone!
    • CC is highly recommended, but NON CC is also welcome.
    • Try to use maxis-friendly CC. That means... Try not to use bad quality or mismatching cc.
    • No faceplastering is allowed.
    • Editing is highly recommended.
    • You can use which background you want, unless I state otherwise in the challenge brief.
    • You may vote for yourself, but getting votes from social media is NOT okay. Not everyone feel comfortable with getting their facebook friends to vote for them, so if someone does they will get an advantage.
    • You're allowed to feel disappointed if you get eliminated, but it's just a competition.
    • You should not join if you know you don't have the time for it, I don't want any drop-outs.

      Please note:
      • I am a real person and I have a real life outside of my computer, believe it or not, so if I'm not active one day please don't get angry with me. I try to be active every day.
      • Making competitions like this is a lot of work, please be patient.
      • This is the first competition I have made, so please be patient.
      • Some rules may change according to the briefs in the challenges.
      • Please turn your graphics up, we want good graphics!
      • Please try to think modern and tasteful.
      • Feel free to comment and talk freely on the forum, just try to include everyone in the conversation!

Kiarah, the same problem with you. Joanna, you and Jana has very similar features, and we felt only one of you should go on to the first challenge.

      We will have three judges this season, including your host. The judges will give you feedback after each challenge, and will be using a scoring system. After each challenge the judges will follow this scoring rubric:
      (I borrowed this from Dafadollys Top Model competition.)


      /10 Overall Impression. Did you like it or dislike it?
      /10 How well they followed the brief.
      /10 Grahpics/editing.

      You are also allowed to give extra or points for creativity, pose, beauty etc. You can also give minus points for an odd/bad pose or something that doesn't look right. You can only give one extra point. Exmple:
      7/10 Overall Impression. Did you like it or dislike it?
      8/10 How well they followed the brief.
      5/10 Grahpics/editing.
      
      + 1 point for creativity.
      -  1 point because hand disappears into the dress.
      
      The judges:

      Leya Grant is a famous former model. She does a little bit modelling nowadays, but was much bigger in the 90s and early 2000s. Today she's living the family life with two sons and a husband. She's all about empowering women and wants a change in the modelling world. She's a spokesperson for a modelling brand who's fighting unhealthy body image. Leya was born in London, but is half somalian and half english. Her mother came to London from Somalia a couple of years before Leya was born.

      Alice Kelly is a famous Australian Make Up Artist (MUA). She came from very humble beginnings, living in outback Aus and starting her very own fashion blog at age 16. She has friends in high places now - through making connections and forming her own brand from scratch. She experiments with different styles and looks and posts OOTD's to her blog and social media accounts gaining thousands of likes and comments on each daily. She understands that it is definitely ok to stand out among the crowd and be different and to just have fun with fashion in general. Alice is a budding entrepreneur and she's a force to be reckoned with in the fashion and modelling world. If contestants ever need any help or advice for assignments (during and after)- you can trust Alice to be open and honest!

      Challenge 9 - The Grand Finale


      It's the finale of the first season of Models Of The World, and we have traveled to the US. Here the remaining models will go through a two parts-challenge.


      Part 1: Easy, breezy, beautiful Covergirl.
      tumblr_oi4rvvqcBd1uz57gao1_500h.jpg

      For the part 1 on the challenge, each of the models will have to star in an ad for Covergirl. You can choose what product you want to have in your ad. It's important to look at the examples to know exactly how this ad should look. There should be a pop of color in your entries, either the logo, clothing or makeup. I want your models to look fresh and perfect!

      Follow this:
      • This is a beauty shot, so please use only the face and shoulders of your model.
      • Find your product, and show it in your entry on your model's face.
      • Add the covergirl logo, a slogan for your product (or an existing slogan) and I also want to see the actual product itself in your ads.
      • Background should be very plain/white/grey/light since it's an ad.
      • You are free to pick any hair length and color for this challenge.
      • You should not add any other sims in your entry.

      Part 2: Evening wear

      For this part of the challenge, you're all dressing up in the finest and most luxurious evening wear you can find. This is not an ad, but just a final photo shoot for the models. I want to see long gowns and diamonds. And don't be afraid of picking a more edgy dress than just the regular prom dress (we don't wanna see that), pick something that makes your model stand out from the crowd. If you want more inspiration than the example, google the Oscars. That's where we're going with this challenge.
      tumblr_oi4scevpnE1uz57gao1_1280.jpg

      Follow this:
      • Your model MUST wear evening/gala/oscars wear.
      • Whole body should be present.
      • Background is totally up to you, however I would pick something glamorous.
      • You are free to pick any hair length and color for this challenge.
      • You should not add any other sims in your entry.



        You will have 11 days for this challenge.
        Timer to make keeping track of the time easier here!

      Challenge 09 - The Grand Finale

      Asia Piawkowska:
      asia-cgmpsbp.png
      You are the winner of this season! Congratulations. We were all impressed by how well you managed to create an ad so similar to a real covergirl ad. Your model looks young and fresh, and that is really important for a covergirl ad. We have also appreciated the quality of your entries with each of the challenges. Message me for a winner-siggie.


      Petra Kujovic:
      31439156060_7ea73c3927_o.png
      You came second, and even though you didn't win, you should be so proud! Me and the judges mostly felt that your formal entry was better than the covergirl entry, and we really liked the dress you chose. In your covergirl entry we felt the makeup looked a little cheap, and Petra was not as beautiful as we know her to be.

      Mia Thompson:

      susni8i.png
      You came third, but you should be proud of yourself. There's not a doubt that you have wonderful ideas and that Mia is very beautiful. It all came down to the fact that you didn't use the real covergirl logo in the entry, and that was an absolute must.

      The application in this competition is a lot more important than applications in other competitions here. If we get 20 contestants the judges and I will pick out 15 of the 20 that will go through to the first challenge and onto the model wall. This means that your shots will have to flawless and you have to get your model to stand out from the crowd.
      Name of the model:
      Age of the model:
      Country:
      Full body shot:
      A little bit about yourself (your model):
      Beauty shot (head/shoulders)
      

      For the shots I want you all to wear the same dress. It's gonna be a little black dress, and your job is to make your model and the dress stand out with makeup, shoes and jewelry. Less is more in some situations, so don't go all crazy. The pose should show off your model in the best way. Also, the background should be white or transparent in both photos.

      The dress you have to download and use in the shots:
      (Remember that it has to be black)

      OR this:

      I am just gonna tag some of those I think might be interested to join here. You could either apply for a judge or a model. If you're applying for a judge I want you to send it to me on PM and not on this thread. Application form will come later, but you could definitely start reserving spots.

      I might join :) I will have to think what country I want. Can we only use maxis match CC?
    7. psyktpsykt Posts: 1,168 Member
      edited July 2016
      @kittymeow No, I know that's one of the rules but I'm gonna adjust it a bit. What I mean is that there's a lot of bad cc out there, and I'd rather see more maxis friendly stuff than really grainy jagged stuff. I've seen your work and you use what I call maxis friendly cc :)

      In the screenshot it had a lot of jagged edges so I tried too fix it. Hope that's ok. Could I edit the body shot to make it neater? I'm having a bit of a bad day :D

      Hi @psykt ! Sounds like a really fun event. I didn't see a timeframe though - is there a date we have to work on yet? Once I can post as a member I'll be interested in participating, representing Senegal (West Africa).
