FAQs for Under 18 Applicants
1. Can my child apply if they are under 18 years old?
Yes, we accept applications from aspiring models between 14 and 18 years old. There are sometimes commercial opportunities for minors, and if we are interested, we begin the development process soon after their application is accepted. However, we emphasize that modelling is considered a hobby, and that education remains the top priority. We require consent from their legal guardian(s) before proceeding with the application process.
2. What type of photos should we submit with the application?
We prefer natural snapshots taken in daylight, as indicated on the website. Professional photos are not necessary. Please ensure your child is not wearing makeup, so we can see their natural features
3. Will my child be safe during the application and selection process?
Absolutely. The safety and well-being of our young applicants is our top priority. All interactions and meetings will be conducted with professionalism, and a legal guardian must accompany minors to any in-person meetings or video calls.
