Why entering Supermodel SA might just be the most exciting thing you can do in 2023
We can’t think of all the reasons contestants have to enter Supermodel SA, but here are 10 valid reasons to consider.
Build your modelling portfolio
Having a diverse modelling portfolio is one of the most important assets a model should have, if not the most important asset. Your journey during the year will help you build that portfolio. Although only a limited number of images from your photoshoots will be submitted for the purposes of the contest you can always negotiate with the photographers for more images for personal use.
Be in it for the fun of it
We know that different contestants enter Supermodel SA for different reasons. Your reason might not be to become a professional model, but it might not mean that you don't love working in front of the cameras. Maybe this contest is a sideline for your gap year or just a hobby for the new year. Whatever your reason, this contest will not take up all your time and may just bring that extra shine to a wonderful year to look forward to.
Work with skilled professionals
Contestants are able to choose with which of the participating photographers they would like to work with. If you're a newby in front of the camera, you may want to stick with a single participating photographer. If you think that a certain photographer may be better for you depending on the theme you may choose to use different participating photographers throughout the contest.
Challenge yourself
If you want to learn to work with various professionals, you can do so by using different photographers, hair stylists and makeup artists for the different themes during the contest. Of course all professionals have their own unique ways of work and there are lots of opportunities for you to just soak up the professional advice and interactions you will experience.
Win Great Prizes
On the cards this year again are some amazing opportunities to win fantastic beauty and skincare products or even to be appointed as a brand ambassador by some of our sponsors. In 2022 our total prizes and gifts topped over R140'000 and we even have lucky draw entries for your supporters when they vote for you.
Build your social media presence
If you are in the influencer game, Supermodel SA might just be a great kick start or a boost for you. Our contest is set up in such a way as to encourage supporters to like and share your entry, unlike any other contest or opportunity in South Africa. If you want to get noticed, this contest may be the greatest opportunity waving at you.
It's not really your thing, but...
Maybe you have the looks, but you're more of a behind the scenes kind of person and you're not really comfortable in front of the cameras? Maybe you're thinking of starting your own modelling agency or something similar in that line? There will always be some valuable experience to gain in working with a number of different professionals in the modelling industry.
I might want to be a model but I'm not convinced, yet...
Joining Supermodel SA is a great opportunity to consider if you really would like to go the route of becoming a model. It may also be a case of you love the idea of being a model but you don't really want to commit to it full time. Maybe you feel that you've missed a modelling opportunity earlier in your life, but you still want to experience some of it? Supermodel SA might just be it.
