New Zealand’s Next Top Model announces Glassons wild card competition

The nationwide search for contestants in TV3’s highly anticipated second series of New Zealand’s Next Top Model has now ended. Hundreds of girls throughout the country flocked to audition venues in the hope of becoming New Zealand’s Next Top Model.

With auditions completed, 33 girls will soon be selected to appear in the first episode of the new series, but in a new twist, one of these sought-after spots is being left open for a Wildcard entrant.

The Glassons Wild Card competition will give anyone, whether they have auditioned or not, the chance to enter.

Then, for the first time in Next Top Model history a public vote will determine one of the final 33 contestants.

Entries can be made online by uploading photos to the Glassons website: ggirls.co.nz from Tuesday June 15 until Sunday June 20. Voting will open Monday June 21 with a one vote limit per person. A continuous live poll will show the Wild Card Top 5.

Audition criteria still apply. Entrants must be 170cm or taller and aged between 16 – 25 years as of July 3 2010.

The lucky wild card entry winner will be notified by phone on Friday June 25, and will automatically enter the final 33 in the running to become New Zealand’s Next Top Model.
