Who is America’s Next Natural Model 2015?
America’s Next Natural Model 2015 is a natural beauty who uses her talent to inspire. She knows how to integrate her natural tresses seemlessly with every outfit or accessories you trow at her. She is proud to stand out and take natural hair to the next runway level. She can’t wait to be the new face of the brand of a line she completely stands behind. If this is you, you should apply.
Who can join this competition?
Every woman of 18 and older with naturally nappy, coily, kinky hair and locs can participate. If your hair is chemically relaxed and you want to join, you will have to commit to cut the relaxed part of your hair in during the competition.
Is submission free?
No, by clicking the submission/registration form link you will see that you have to pay $29.99.
The competition has always been free. Why do we have to pay this year and what do we pay for?
Yes, the competition has been free for models for five years but it has never been free to setup and run the competition. So while hundreds and hundreds of models freely applied, we picked up the bill for processing applications, hosting images and running the online competition. Now we ask for a fee not only to cover part of the cost but this way we are pretty sure to process only serious applications of confident models who are all about taking their careers to the next level.
So the $29.99 is only to process my application?
No, actually you get a whole lot more. Once you make the payment we will use your profile and photos to introduce you to our 35,000 subscribers, our 50,000 facebook fans, twitter and instagram followers.
Does paying the $29 automatically guarantee acceptance into the competition?
Paying the fee guarantees acceptance in the Social Media audition round where your profile and photos will be evaluated and posted on in our Social Media Network of 80,000 members on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram but it does not guarantee a spot in the final 10.
What other cost do models have? Who pays for shipping on products?
The only costs models have to pay are the registration costs. Everything else is free. Going-natural.com takes care of shipping and all other costs.
Do we get to keep the products ..jewelry clothing etc…?
It depends on the sponsor if you get to keep the clothes, jewelry and everything else.
What is the actual application process?
The actual application process is a fairly simple 2-stpe process:
1) First register and create a profile with at least 5 of your best photos.
2) Then click on the link to submit your application to make the payment and you are in!
Who keeps the rights to the images?
You keep the rights of the images but the sponsors have the right to use the images they see fit on billboards, online, in videos or other publications. This is for the models to expand their portfolio, profile and visibility.
