Modelling Competitions and Pageants Information

Since 1995, albamodel.info has pioneered to improve standards within the modelling industry and we will only promote pageants that meet out strict requirements and that we have clear knowledge that there are run to a very high standard.

Our aim is to give those that wish to enter model competition or pageants, guidance on those which have a proven track record so they can make an informed choice about the contests they may wish to enter may not if they do not meet our seal of approval.

What is the difference between Modelling competitions & Beauty pageants -

Modelling competitions are totally different to a pageant as they will usually be to promote a company, Magazine, event, product or even a Model agency so they do not usually charge a fee to enter the events as they have a budget to self promote / or they have a company sponsoring the competition to access the entries in one way or another either by promoting or advertising their company goods or services.

Usually the prize will not have much cash value, perhaps spending vouchers and products from the sponsors such as makeup, hair care and clothing but the most valuable of the prizes will be to get taken on or given a contract with a model agency or the opportunity to appear on a cover of a magazine and kick start a modelling career.

Most are height and age restrictive and targeted to a specific age range. Others are designed to find a girl that has made an ethical difference or achieved great goals to be awarded a cover shoot for the magazine.

There should be NO fee to enter modelling competitions.

 

Beauty Pageants are a bit like a hobby - you either love them or you hate them.
It is very much different to a modelling competition as teenage girls and ladies that enter may not even want to go into modelling or would not meet the age and height criteria. Pageants are more of a event, but is still very competitive as prizes are usually a set amount of cash, clothing, and products along with holidays plus a crown, sash and a title to keep for a whole year.

Most pageants will require contestants to be sponsored to enter or will charge a fee, this is perfectly acceptable and ALBA are happy with this.

However, ALBA do not recommend any pageants that require a sponsorship / entry fee of more than £250.
