The Model Scouts Sunday 24th January

RTÉ’s The Model Scouts search for a new Irish supermodel - 12 girls, 6 weeks, 1 contract

Cork castings take place in Mahon Point Shopping Centre on Sunday 24th January from 2pm – 5pm.

Following the success of last year’s series, The Model Agent, RTÉ and Sideline Productions have this year teamed up with IMG, the most successful talent management company in the world, to search for a new Irish model with the potential to take the fashion industry by storm.

This prize on offer this year to the successful girl, is a one year contract with IMG Models who represent an impressive international portfolio of models including Gisele Bundchen, Lily Donaldson, Lara Stone, Lily Cole, Mischa Barton and Liv Tyler.

The television series, The Model Scouts will shadow Jeni Rose and David Cunningham as they scour the length and breadth of the country to find a young Irish girl that they can develop long term into a major international success.

Jeni and David are Vice-Presidents of International Development at IMG Models in Paris and New York respectively, where they are officially referred to as ‘scouts.’  Together they have scouted in more than 40 countries and will visit Ireland for the first time in a quest to source a new face for the biggest fashion and entertainment group in the world.

Television cameras will follow Jeni and David’s journey as they scout and select the 12 lucky girls, who will then feature in the six part television series on RTÉ Two. Many will apply, but only a few will make it through to the finals due to be filmed in London, Paris, New York, Milan and Sydney.

Only one will win the final prize; the coveted one year contract with IMG Models - part of the biggest and most successful management company in the world. Other prizes will include a front cover fashion shoot and the opportunity to be ‘the face’ of a major Irish fashion launch – details of which will be revealed during the TV series.
