America’s Next Natural Model is an online pageant to promote natural beauty and online businesses. Since its start in 2008, the pageant has featured companies like Iman cosmetics, Jamaica Mango & Lime but also fashion designer Adrian Alicea and Gruvi Juice for whom a commercial was made.

America’s Next Natural Model is open to talented male and female models, age 16 and older who proudly wear their hair natural. Locs, naturals, long and short are welcome to apply.

How it works

Ten models will be selected to compete for a trip, photo and video shoots in the Feng Shui Garden in Suriname, the greenest country on earth!

As one of the ten chosen contestants you will receive a box of free goodies, from hair care products to accessories and nail polish. (see WhatNaturalsLove.com one of the sponsors).

Every week you will have to do a photo shoot, a video shoot or both with the items you’ve received then upload them.

A panel of coaching-judges, the sponsoring company and maybe best of all, our 100,000 social media members, followers and fans gets a chance to vote for performance. That means exposure!

If you win, you get to fly to Suriname the greenest country on earth to do a photo and video shoot in the Feng Shui Garden and more!
