Hello and welcome to 'Next Top Doll', I have been thinking about running a competition for months now so I have decided to kick start it! There will be 15 models partaking, which means double eliminations on 5 occasions during the competition meaning Cycle 1 of this competition shall run for exactly 10 weeks.
So, do you have a doll you think is model worthy? A hot-shot? A photogenic doll? Then this competition is for you!
With all competitions, there will be some rules as how to enter, please read below for rules, application and any other necessary information:
Rules:
1) If you enter a specific doll, you may not suddenly decide half-way through the competition you wish to use a different doll or a different version, for example, if you choose Frankie from Monster High, and you entered Frankie B&W version, you must ONLY use this version throughout the duration of the competition!
2) If you enter, please be aware you must be willing to do one photosession a week! That means time, and dedication, if you cannot commit, I'm sorry, but please do not enter.
3) You may not commit PLAGIARISM, if you are found to be using another member's photos or a photo from google images, you will instantly be banned from the competition.
4) You may do anything you like with a dolls hair, but if your doll has a wig, you may only use one wig for the duration of the competition, but feel free to style it in any way you like!
5) Clothing- None of the challenges will specifically be based on clothing- it is only fair that if one member has a few outfits and another has 50, then the member with the most would have the advantage and I want this competition to be 100% clean and fair! You may use any clothing you like, handmade or officially branded. Any is fine - bearing in mind it must not have religious or offensive slogans on it (which I highly doubt anyone has!)
Important Information (Including DEADLINES):
1) There will be NO JUDGES - This means the public alone vote, so make every photo count! For the entry stage, myself and a few members shall be choosing who shall take part in the first cycle.
2) Please show good sportsman ship! Everyone is competing for essentially one place as the 'arena's next top doll', not everyone can win, so if you don't get through, please don't be devastated, there will be more oppurtunities!
3) If you are partaking in ANTM, you may also enter here!! *Hooray!*
4) You have until the 8th July 2012 8.00pm EST to submit your final submissions! If you want to enter, please PM me your photo entry before the deadline! If you submit after this date, your entry will not be entered. Please make your photo approx. 640x480!
5) If you get through the entries, you will be PM'ed by myself or other judges to let you know you are taking part! Please be prepared! You have seven full days and nights to complete each challenge. If your entry is not received by myself through private messaging before each deadline, you will be eliminated. This being said, the deadline is different for the entry photos, please read above.
6) Bear in mind, this is both a modelling and photography competition, both elements are equally important and should be considered before any shoots!
7) Each week, with each challenge, it will be publically judged, but the original entry judges will be giving their say on each individual's photos. We will be giving our critique although this is not how the successors shall be determined, from after the entry photos, all will be voted for by the public.
If you have any questions that have not been answered here, please post below (Do not PM questions) so that I can reply in the thread so every member can view the reply. Thank you for bearing this is mind!
With that said, and much excitement for all, the very best of luck to you all and remember: have fun!
