Registration for this year’s Fresh Face Model Search is now open. No modeling experience is necessary. The first step of the competition is a modeling casting call and seminar at 9:00 a.m., on Sunday, September 27, 2009, at the Muskingum County Conference and Welcome Center (205 N.

Participants are asked to wear a black tank or fitted T-shirt, skinny jeans, and black stiletto shoes and be prepared for a runway walk. Those selected for the next round of competition will participate immediately in a video audition, and will be notified by phone if selected to advance to the next level.

The top 25 semi-finalists will receive a complimentary 10-frame shoot with Nicole Marie Studios, and will compete in the finals on Sunday, November 8, 2009, at Colony Square Mall, where they will be scored in the following areas:

(b) Camera Presence (marketability based on photo-shoot) = 30%;
(c) Stage Presence (physical fitness, confidence, and marketability based on runway presentation) = 20%; and
