Why do you want to be Miss World?
I've never ever even thought of becoming a model, before some of my friends suggested I should try out for this contest. I just want to prove that no matter what kind of outer image you have it's possible to get far. I'm outgoing, friendly and I love to hang around with people. And as I mentioned I absolutely love travelling! Since Miss World will probably be able to travel and meet a lot of people this is it for me I think. Winning something is big for everyone, and especially if it means you can share your ideas and believes with a lot of people. For me getting the world and all cultures together is an important achievement.

Oh *claps* Well done people. Just letting you know PLEASE do NOT hold places ..... it's not necessary. Just wastes space, any one who does I will deduct points from, for the fact of its a pain in the butt lol.

*NOT A PLACE HOLDER* This sounds good I was in the Simcitys Next Top Model, and I'm really disappointed how it ended! Lets hope this one sticks 'till the end!!!!

Agreed Its easier for you to just post it in one go x WELL DONE malfoya x

MaydayParade ma BABE! Can't wait for your App :D

SAME!!! I love seeing what people come up with..... Because I can't do these things lol (not that I tried for long)

@Kaylarox: What do you mean by "do not hold spaces"? *confused*

hmmm....looks interesting.

I may give it a try...... if my game cooperates with me, since it keeps crashing on me lately.

Putting in applications just for the sake of holding your place - is holding a spot - BTW I wouldn''t really deduct points that would be nasty

Hello, my name is Mya Kavalee (Pronounced Mii-yaa Ka-va-lee) and I am 22 years old. I live in the inner city suburbs of Victoria, Australia. I am a part time model and when I’m not strutting it out on the catwalk or in a photo shoot for a catalogue; I work at a clothing store in the city of Melbourne.

Aboriginal Australian, Indonesian, English and Thai are in my heritage and the combination of different worlds has made me the confident, easy going person that I am today. I grew up attending various ceremonies and celebrating different events by wearing different things to my peers and through this; I developed a passion for looking my best.

When I was 13 I begged my mother to let me join a child modelling agency. I begged relentlessly and she finally gave up on my 15th birthday; I received an agent and a photo shoot for my special day.

Since then, I’ve found out that modelling is all that I want to do.
I’ve participated in catalogues, advertising and commercials but my big break came when I was in a runway show for the 2009 Melbourne Fashion Week. My edgy look and my oriental influences made me popular with large labels and designers.

Although my genes are a mix of different cultures, I particularly favour the nationality of my father, which is Thai. This is the culture that I am the most appreciative of and the Thai Buddhist religion is the one that I follow. Other than that, I love the fashions, the creativity, the animals, the food and the experiences of Thailand – For my 21st birthday, I went to Bangkok for a massive shopping spree, it was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life!!
My friends found out about this competition and suggested that I have a try. Culture is such an important part of my life and this contest combines modelling and heritage which are the two biggest things in my world.

I found out that I needed 4 pictures of me for my application so I called up one of my best friends, who is an ace photographer. I’ve worked with her before from when she took some pictures for my portfolio last year.


FACE SHOT/ HEAD SHOT:

My friend told me to act natural and to look natural so I applied only a little makeup. The first picture we took was the one of my head and face. This is how I usually wear my hair, it’s fairly long and is a bluey black colour; some parts are cut shorter than others and it goes down to my rib bones.




PROFILE:

The next picture that we took was a profile picture. My hair was in the way of my features so I tied it up in a messy knot. I wear my hair like this sometimes; it looks casually formal... or something like that.
Personally, I like this picture because it shows off my long neck.




BODYSHOT:

The next picture is the body shot photograph, I really like this one as well – the angle is pretty cool. The dress is one I bought in Bangkok, it was a bargain and I think it’s gorgeous! This picture shows off my high cheekbones and my long legs.




FREESHOT:

This next picture is when I appeared in an advertising campaign for my favourite designer, Alex Fleming. The collection was called ‘The Morrigan’ and was based on an ancient Goddess, the Crow Goddess.



This picture represents me being an ‘Urban Morrigan’ and I got to wear a slinky black dress that I loved! My hair was straightened out and I had plenty of extensions to make it longer, it was dyed a dark black/blue and it’s the colour that I still use today. This shoot took a lot of effort but turned out looking amazing, I spent over two hours with the makeup artist as she transformed me into a dark eyed beauty. She then used liquid eyeliner to make artistic black tears running down my face and to make the lines twisting from the corner of my mouth.
When I found out that I needed a ‘Free Shot’, I knew that I had to use this picture, not only because I look great and am posing for my favourite designer, but because I got to wear my own favourite black heels which I bought in America!

Short Application:
Name: Mya Kavalee
Age: 22
Birthplace: Melbourne, Australia
Culture: Thai
Why Do you Want to be Miss World?
I'd love to be Miss World because I could further my modeling career and make my family, friends and culture proud of me. Modeling started out as a past time but there's nothing I would like more than being able to represent Thailand in such a prestigious competition!! I also want to be Miss World because throughout the competition I would make friends and learn more about myself, as Miss World I could share my knowledge and more with the world!

~~~~
(My first contest!! I'm really excited and happy to be taking part in this comp, it's going to be so much fun! Also, everyone's applications are amazing, its going to be a close contest! )

Lil'B, I don't mean to rain on your parade or piss you off before I can get an ap done up, but I believe if I remember correctly, that all contests must be run from this site.

The contest isn't run on that site, the site will have an archive or rounds and scores when they are posted, Lil'B made one for the last contest and she had a table with the judge's scores for every round on it and it looked like it really helped the contestants keep track of their scores.

Is it okay for me to place my model on a transparent background so if you save the picture it's already layered?

I'd say that it's probably alright, my freeshot picture has transparency in the corners and sides. I was going to do make it transparent but then I decided not to - anyway, its easy to fix if it's not wanted - you just have to use the fill tool in photoshop and wollaa, white background

Do what you feel is right. And lil'b can have an archive site if she was lol its her contest!!!

And sorry to inconvenience anyone but you have 4 days to complete this round because we only get 4 weeks for the whole contest

Countdown Timer!!

Oops, in the 'applicants' section in the first post, you've written Mya's name as Maya and spelt electricblu3 wrong >_<

I love summer colours and long dresses, I hope to do well and make my family proud!
Why do you want to be Miss World? I want to become miss world so I can change the face of modelling and prove to people that if you work hard and believe in yourself, you can succeed at anything! I am so proud to represent Italy and show the world our culture. To me, modelling is more than a profession it is an art, I will be the next Picasso!
- A Headshot
First up, we had to do the headshot. I visted Milan's fashion studio where the picture was taken by the famous photographer, Pablo Cetta. A simple strong facial expression and my hair styled in a simple fashion.

- A profile shot
next, we took the profile which was done the same. i was a bit embarressed as i have a strange nose shape from the side veiw.

- A Body shot
finaly a shot where i can pose and express myself! i decided to wear my favourite summer dress and pose so i can flaunt my long lean figure. Pablo said the blue in the dress complimented my eyes!

- A Free Shot
for a free shot i used a picture that i took when i was living in Hawaii. I'm standing in the Tiki anscestor pool, it was a special place for me as it is connceted to my family. I was wearing my cute pink bikini and my hair was braided. It turned out pretty good and it shows some of my culture.

Birthplace: Beijing, China

Culture: mostly Chinese

A Short Biography: Xi Mei is a Chinese American. She is born in the Beijing though, she later lived in Shanghai. When she was 15, her father was transferred permanently to the USA and her whole family moved there. After graduating high school, Xi Mei went to Germany to study Architecture. Once she got her Diploma, she went back to the US and lives there until now.
Although she lives most of her life outside China, Xi Mei's parents raised her based on Chinese customs and traditions. Her main interests are traditional music and games. She plays the Guqin and er-hu (traditional Chinese music instruments).

Why do you want to be Miss World?

I wanted to represent the rich cultures of China, even though I do not live in China. I could also learn about the different cultures and traditions from around the world. To me, becoming Miss World isn't just a huge leap in the modeling Career. It's an opportunity to see the parts of the world I haven't seen. Like opening my eyes to what had been hidden from me (Wait a sec, why the hell did I write something this sappy? Oh well. Whatever)





Hope the picture quality doesn't affect the scoring that much.

Sorry Deathrella lol x I hope its ok - a bit of confusion going around x I promise to keep all the link coming back to here and I'm not running it there its on here it for me to remember everything x Lol Sorry

I just didn't want you to get in trouble. Maybe you should check with a moderator to make sure it's okay. I now there's some sort of rule where you can't link to other sites.

I know there's some kind of rule about running the contest off-site. Since the contest is being run here, I don't think it'd be a problem with the moderators, but even if it's your contest, it has to follow the rules or it'll be closed. So I'd check with the mods about it.

Hmm. I suppose as a judge I'll just HAVE to actually look at the applications. *sigh*

Kay thats not very enthusiastic lol.

Sorry electric I am terrible at spelling lol and at the moment there is no problem with the weebly Lee said she loves what you did with it Lil'B

the website is really good! I am so excited about the competition! I hope there is more aplicants though, the more competition the more fun!
