Created in 1983, the Elite Model Look contest has become the largest glamorous and prestigious model search in the world. It is an essential form of scouting for Elite’s 37 worldwide agencies. The contest gives the agencies’ managers the opportunity to evaluate the contestants a chance to launch successful careers as professional models.
Each year, and in over 50 countries, local organizers, strictly recruited by Elite, set up regional and national contests, in which some 350,000 applicants take part.
Last year, Tracy Onyekachukwu won the Nigerian competition and went on to the Elite Model Look International competition held in Sanya, China. She is currently signed to Elite UK and was spotted strutting on the London Fashion Week ramps this week. This year the Elite Model Look in collaboration with their Nigerian partners Beth Modelling Agency were searching for the fiercest model in Nigeria. At the casting call held at Protea Hotel in Ikeja, over a thousand girls from all over the country were screened and only a handful were chosen for the finale.
The Elite Model Look event held on the 19th of September 2009 at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos was an affair to be remembered. It wasn’t just about viewing beautiful looking girls. It was much more than that. The models put on a show worth attending. From dancing down the runway to the infamous talent showcase that sent the audience roaring with laughter.
The girls also modeled clothes by UK based designer, Samantha Cole and then strutted down the runway in slinky evening wear. They all looked beautiful but one person shone – her evening dress was actually my fave and the most beautiful in my opinion. The crowned winner of the night was Annette Begg. Her gown was gorgeous but her walk was definitely not fierce. She’ll learn to walk and she has the beauty and personality to make it in the modeling world. Annette is a graduate of Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls and is of Nigerian and Trinidadian/Toboggan heritage. She has appeared in quite a few music videos recently including D’Banj’s Suddenly. It is great to see her make the tough transition from commercial modelling to the runway. As her prize for winning the Beth/Elite Model Look Nigeria competition, she will receive 5 million naira towards international tuition and also gets a chance to compete alongside other national competition winners from 70 other countries at the Elite Model look finale taking place in Sanya, China on the Oct 18th 2009. We wish Annette a very successful modeling career. Make us proud babe!
