Wild Card Option to be introduced into Next Real Model

We are constantly thinking of ideas to keep the NRM comp attractive and 'fresh'. One of the thoughts was developed after hearing feedback about the SMS voting. We have taken your comments onboard and have just decided to implement a wild card option.... the "Real Card"

We realise that some entrants may have fewer friends than others or some may find it more difficult to secure local support or to market themselves due to time restrictions, study, family, etc.

How will it work? Once the Top 10 finalists have been selected from the number of votes they have received, a panel of independant judges will then select an additional two "Real Card" entrants - making it 12 finalists who will be in the running to be named 2010 Next Real Model. The judges will not be the same as those who will judge the final....just to make it even fairer!

It is still very important to get votes and cast votes for your favs so you can have a say in the Top 10 - the Top 10 are still only chosen by SMS votes. Don't leave it to chance ... the "Real Card" is just another way we are helping you to realise your dreams of becoming a model.
