That is the current standing, if you do not see your picture (or am unsure) and you have sent an application, please get with me, the reasons is that you have not officially confirmed your application. (Meaning you did not submit an answer to our question, or did submit a picture, i.e. did not follow the application rules.)

I know two people above this post have not submit a question, Queen Claire and Scout Master Syra (i'm assuming Syra is coming up with a possible answer basing on the post above, but anyways)

We blotched out names for obvious reasons, we dont want people to get all gossipy, we dont want any applicants to be bothered or what not.

Anyways, there is still two weeks to apply! Keep them coming!!! cool, but why are almost all pictures marked with TNTM, except two which are marked ANTM and VNTM?
curiousity kills me

I've noticed that, alot of the original entries didn't reapply. Only four previous entries bothered to re-enter, maybe they were agitated that we made a big deal out of the contest and had it flop for a few months lol Either way, its sad that many of the previous couldnt make it this round like you Sky!

Broodijzer:

lol as for the Picture thing, TNTM = the maybe pile, ANTM = Absolute, V = Vetoed. lol jk! TNTM = Tyria's Next Top Model, ANTM = America's Next Top Model, and VNTM = Vana'diel's Next Top Model, it was just a simple typo, lol and no those were not put in any particular order lol

and as for Brandon1107...you should do whatever you want, as long as it fulfilles the application guidelines... We were really, REALLY close on throwing out applications that did not follow the three requirements for applying. Since we're having trouble with coming up with our final 10, it wouldve been easier for us to just toss out the people that did not put their character name in the subject line (lots of people did not do this lol), but I vetoed that since I remember I didnt put the application info in any clear place and thought it wouldve been unfair lol.

Applications are continually creeping in, and I know alot of people will turn in last minute applications like the first time lol, so far, decisions have been dreadful lol its a hard process and really painful to see that some of my top picks are not seeing eye to eye with the other judges and vice versa of course, i cant say more about the judging process, so new applicants wont pick up any favorable hints, but at this rate, we're hoping to have the final 10 listed on by December 4th (depending on how many last minute entries we get). Then we can catch up with the contestants and start handing out their first screenshot assignments!!! And of course we'll post that info on this thread for everyone to see!

On a side note, people are wanting to have a male version lol, and my answer to that is, depending on how well this contest goes, we might decide to do a second version with females again, or males, or together, or even separately ...though it might be delayed, cause contributions are slim lol

Anyways, thats the update for the day!

I will be sending my entry in very soon. I will use some poses as well as the up front picture. Hopefully you like and I will deffinatley try to make it stand out from the rest. I already have an idea of the pics i'll show. I do not know how to crop and all that stuff so i'm just gonna try to go around with finding backgrounds complimenting my poses.

Yeah, competition is really tight, so please, to those who do not make it, do not feel bad! We would love to accept everyone, but the truth is we just cant.

Again, I cant stress how hard it is for us to evaluate everyone and give scores, lol, it is especially frustrating that I am the one who came up with the idea, and generally, am the head judge, but i keep getting outvoted on a lot of decisions lol

Anyways, i wish everyone the best of luck who applied and who will apply! Time is short, so if you want to apply, do it soon!

I personally, find you mesmer the most sophisticated and elegant of the bunch. Maybe because Im queer? jkz//

I say PARAGON for the next character, but your mesmer should still be no.1.

I say Dervish, any Dervish face is prettier than any Paragon face, and their hairstyles are better too.

But they're your characters, enter who you wish.

A lot of concerns about applications were raised, and all I can say is follow our application guidelines which can be found on the first post here and use your best judgement.

I also want to make sure that everyone is aware that NOT everyone will be accepted in this competition. There has been some confusion on this competition, although it is true that anyone may apply for this competition, only 12 applications will be chosen to move forward into the actual competition process.

Again, ANYONE and everyone is welcomed to apply, but ONLY 12 contestants will be chosen to move forward into the competition.

Hope this clears up some confusion, if there are any other questions/comments/and or concerns please bring them to my attention!

Thank you!

At this very moment, 60 applications are processed, so if we were to put that in percentages, there is only a 1.6% chance of anyone making it. 10/60 * 100 = 16.6666666%

After much debate, we've decided to raised the number of accepted applications to twelve (12). And because of this raise in number, there's going to be changes to the competition.

We are keeping the dates the same since changing them could cause problems for applicants, but this will only mean there will be double eliminations, maybe once or twice during the chorus of the competition. Other changes include the Holiday screenshot which was suppose to be an optional bonus assignment for the Dec 24-30 week (we're assuming wintersday stuff will be out by then, so that should make for interesting shots), will now be a mandatory assignment, so I'm sorry to those who will be out during the holidays, but that will now be counted against you if you do not participate.

Other changes are we are not letting the public vote be the winning vote, it will only count as one vote out of five. We feel this is best because this isn't a popularity contest, and we don't want things to be unfair. The remaining four votes will be from the three judges and the final vote will be decided on later during the chorus of the competition. This way, there's no way of having a tie vote problem.

That's the update of the day, and remember, there is still time to apply, deadline is at exactly December 1, 2006. 12:00 am PST. Those who are chosen as contestants will be notified at latest December 06, 2006, and of course we'll post that info on the thread as well!

Do you have an estimate of how many competitors there are now?

As well, I like the changes. More girls, more drama (well, at least, thats what supposed to happen on ANTM >.>)

I finally convinced Shalkia to enter the contest. It wasn't easy because she is a little shy about it, but she always dreamed of being a model. I made a small portfolio for her and here is her entry:

I think there's 67 people at the moment. Trust me when I say we cringe everytime new applications are sent in(not to discourage new applicants! lol)...we all have our favorites and top picks in mind, and when new people come, our opinions change and we have to go through more arguments over who should be where. Basically, what we will do is each individually pick our 12, then we hammer it out after the deadlines.

I didnt really want to support the changes since it really changed up how I was going to do things, plus, i think i rather save the two people for the possibly a next cycle. They have a better chance at winning and it gives me more leadway, but this is the direction we're going.

and Brandon1107, you can do whatever you want as long as you send me the required materials as well.

I made a new char recently....and she's beautiful. I really want to use her in the contest instead of one of the ones I sent in. Is it ok if I email her to you and tell you the name of the one I want to take out of the contest, since we can only have 2?

I guess you can swap out if you want, either way, no matter how many characters you may choose to show, in the end, you're gonna have to choose only one if you're chosen as a finalist.

Just make a note of which one you want to swap out and send me the info for the new character.

Only two more days till this thing actually gets underway, I'm so excited! lol I hope everyone, even those arent chosen/lurkers/etc, continue to be interested in the competition process! We hope to make this as fun and interesting as it can be!
