Welcome to Creative Freaks’ Next Top Model: Season One!
That’s right, after much anticipation, Creative Freaks’ next top model competition has finally started off! This season will be for female models only.
Most of you will be familiar with the concept right now, but for those who aren’t: The next top model contest is modelled after the TV-show America’s Next Top Model.
This means you will take your model through various rounds, each with a specific photoshoot challenge. At the end of each round, the voters will decide which models continue to the next round, and which model will have to leave the contest.
How to enter a model:
1) Make a sim in Bodyshop. Then take two pictures:
- A ‘casual clothes’ picture. This picture needs to be 600 x 450 pixels in size (the size of a large Sims 2 picture.)
- A headshot on a white background. No text, no border, no brushes. A plain white background. This picture needs to be 150 x 150 pixels exactly. (Crop it with a photo-editing program or PM me for help.) Your model’s expression does not need to be neutral! For examples of the real Top Model headshots, go here.
- Upload your two pictures to the Next Top Model Photobucket Account. This is so we have an easy overview of all the models, and will provide you instantly with links you can use to post your pictures. You will have to log in to be able to add your pictures. The username is: creativefreaksntm The password is: model
In the Photobucket Account you will also find examples of the shots you will have to take. Put your pictures in the 'Entries' folder.
2) Create your model’s profile. To do this, fill in this form:
- Full Name:
- Date of Birth:
- Hometown: (where your model lives, for example: Tokyo, Japan.)
- Likes: (limit yourself to 5)
- Dislikes: (limit yourself to 5)
- Favourite Quote:
- Background: (write a bit more about your model)
3) Create your model’s thread on the Contestants page.
Your thread name should be the name of your model (first name and surname). In your model’s thread, include your casual clothes and headshot picture, and your model’s profile.
4) When all model entries are in, they will be added to the official Creative Freaks’ Next Top Model: Season One site for a nice overview.
The deadline for submissions of models is the 25th of November, so take your time to create a stunning model.
No submissions are allowed after the deadline! There are no exceptions!
Rules:
- Your model must be created in Bodyshop. No in-game or CAS created sims. If you’re desperate about entering an in-game sim, read Claudia’s tutorial about extracting CAS or in-game sims with SimPE.
- All custom content is allowed, with one exception: fantasy skintones/eye colours (such as Enayla’s). Keep in mind that this is supposed to be a realistic contest.
- You must use the same sim every round (naturally), but you can change her hair, outfit and makeup. (note: no skintone or eye colour changes!)
- Photo editing is allowed, but not necessary. If you’re not confident about this, ask a friendly member to help you out.
- Story characters are not allowed to enter. Models you created yourself (so no Extreme Makeover models) for other contests are fine.
- You are allowed to advertise your model in signatures and avatars. Do not create new threads about your model, though.
- The only threads allowed in the Contestant board are model threads. Do not create polls, threads about avatars/signatures, or random threads there.
Further information about when Round One will start is to follow. Good luck to all participants!
