Newbie Model of the Week Contest a brief history: On 12 January, 2008 Craig Seay created a post in the General Forum of Model Mayhem initiating a new program - one of many programs he started to strengthen the Model Mayhem community. In this program dubbed Newbie Model of the Week Contest, was ancillary to the theLIST and was designed as a platform to showcase new model talent on Model Mayhem. In September of 2008 Tom deLombarde took the reigns of the Newbie Model of the Week contest and has moderated it since. When Craig took his programs elsewhere in the Spring of 2009, two of the theLIST Top Drawer members, Nina Pak and Tom deLombarde entered into detailed discussions about instituting a new version of theLIST and Newbie Model of the Week Contest. At the time we were readying to launch, Craig decided to return the programs to Model Mayhem and we picked up from the old LIST.
Sep 21 09 09:02 pm Link WELCOME to The "NEWbie MODEL of the Week"~!! To enter this competition you must be a "LIST" *photographer and your **model must meet the criteria set for newbie models by "TheLIST~TopDrawer". The TopDrawer will validate your entry and TopDrawer members will vote every Sunday-Monday on each valid entry with a majority vote deciding the week's winner. Our new Newbie Model of the Week will be announced and presented every Tuesday morning. LIST photographers shall post in this thread, 3-5 images of the newbie model they've chosen to submit. No 18+ images or links please. If your model wins we will post one image (our choice)to represent the winning model. As a LIST *photographer you may submit one **newbie model per week. If your model doesn't win you may submit the same model again after 30 days. Each winning model will be presented at the top of the thread, with our favorite Pic and a short bio. The winning model will also be featured as "NEWbie MODEL of the Week" in the "NEWbie MODEL of the Week" Winners Gallery at pbase.com. In addition the winning model and his/her LIST photographer will be awarded a banner to display on their profile page. In the event that only one nomination is received before the deadline, that nomination will be rolled forward into the next scheduled contest. You must post your entry for "NEWbie MODEL of the Week" in this thread by Sunday midnight EST. You may post your entry only once each week and you may not "bump" your entry post. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in disqualification. This thread is to be used only for submitting images and brief commentary about your newbie model. If you want to discuss or comment you may do so at "TheLIST". If you have any questions or comments you may PM the inbox of the contest moderator Tom deL or visit "TheLIST". * Definition of LIST photographer: A photographer who has submitted work to and has been approved by "TheLIST~TopDrawer" ** Definition of a "newbie model": Any aspiring new model who is a MM member. (S)he may not be affiliated with any modeling agency as of yet and the model's portfolio must reflect a "newbie" ambiance, including images, listed experience and contacts. (S)he may not show in their profile tours, rates, or anything else that would give her the appearance of a working professional model. If in doubt our Top Drawer Committee will make final determination.

Sep 29 09 08:42 am Link Great start to this week - I'm out of town again, but theLIST members please review the guidelines and nominate your favorite newbie model here! Oct 01 09 05:12 am Link Kara, MM# 1041236 She is a lovely young woman, I enjoyed working with her. She takes direction well and she has a natural grace. This shoot was for the Canadian designer Temna Fialka, and the collection is for Cirque Du Solei. It was a long and stressful day. So I can tell you that Kara works well under pressure.    Oct 01 09 07:22 pm Link I first noticed Stacia O., MM #1364991, in a café in San Francisco while having breakfast with my daughter. I very seldom invite people I meet on the street to do a photo shoot, but Stacia's smile as I was leaving pushed me over the edge and I gave her my card. Two weeks later, she contacted me about shooting a set. The photos below, and on her port, are the result. I only wish that she lived closer to San Francisco; she's already getting lots of attention from Reno area photographers! All images unretouched.      Stacia and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration! Mike Oct 02 09 06:34 pm Link I got what it takes! Oct 04 09 02:59 am Link Candidates for the Newbie Model of the Week
Oct 05 09 04:31 pm Link Sarah Scoular Mm# 661365 Photos by Nina Pak © 2009 Sarah is Seventeen and in the short time she has been modeling she has accomplished a rather diverse portfolio. She was one of the models I used for the Cirque shoot. I found her very easy to work with, she takes direction well, and I just liked her company. I would definitely work with her again.    She has recently been signed with an agency, but she is still learning and needs help to develop her modeling skills.
