i dont know jennifer that well but the rest seem to have found immense success. Do you think their winners are more successful than the Ford winners?

There are more successful non-winners than winners, so I think they should be included.

Most definitely, and Elite also have a higher ratio of successful runner-ups/finalists. But they aren't really comparable. EML is a huge "internal" event for the largest scouting network in the world, whereas Ford rely on independent local partners (which seem to change quite often). EML is better organised and they have better follow up since virtually all of the girls stay within the network. The latter is key because you can't always tell who will be the most successful a few years down the road.

Are only contestants from Western Europe allowed to compete in Elite's competition? That's what it looks like given these winners/finalists.

 

[Birgit]

Hungary, Serbia and Czech Republic are considered Eastern Europe

Elite Model Look 1999 2nd Runner Up - Raica Oliveira / Brazil

Stephanie Seymore, Cindy Crawford competed the same year that Frederique Van der Waal won. Elaine Irwin also competed. And I think Caroline Ribeiro and that 6-foot African model who's the girlfriend of the former Luca Luca designer also competed.
