Model contest?

[Big10]

I live in the East Texas area. Does anyone know of model contest\shows around my area?

I don't think mine are good enough to place but I do believe it would be quite fun to go to.

Thanks.

Our contest is in southwest Louisiana in January. We usually have close to 300 models entered and vendors from San Antonio to Pensecola in attendance.

That seems interesting, about a 4hr drive for me.

You just missed it, I think they do have it every year.

I was THIS close to going out there for the show last year but figure my doctors would rather get paid first.

Mr T and Dad can tell you all about it.

When I live in West TX. we use to go to the one in Fort Worth and I enjoyed it very much.

Good cross section of all modeling venues and not nearly the hubbub of Eaglequiest .

Being that I have never done a model contest, would I enter as beginner or intermediate?

 

[moon puppy]

Beginner and rack up the awards!

I enjoy it, I don't take it so seriously that I get disappointed in not placing with something I thought should place.

 

[Swordsman]

Well I think that if you go with a joyful heart ... not expecting to win ... then when you do your "Happy ... Happy ... Happy" so beginner is a great place to start ... then next year go for the gusto ...

Just take it and place it where they tell you it belongs unless you qualify for a junior entry .

Do not take it seriously . Especially if you studied the subject closely or you might find the judges annoying unfamiliar with the subject.

I would still recommend Forth Worth
