A MODELLING competition is being launched at The Mall.

Male and female beauties are invited to visit the Selbourne Walk shopping centre today (Saturday) between 11am and 3pm, or at the same time next Saturday (September 26).

The potential entrants will have their photo taken and will be asked to register for 'The Mall Makeover' modelling competition.

The competition is free to enter and is divided into two age categories for male and female entrants, 15 to 20, or 21 and over, with no upper age limit.

Two of last year's participants, Julien Isaac, 18, and Abigail Hall, 17, both from Walthamstow, will be there to answer any queries.

A shortlist of 60 contestants will be invited to return to The Mall on Saturday, October 10, for a casting day when they will meet a panel of judges featuring representatives from Modelsearch, and fashion retailers from The Mall.

Twelve finalists will be selected to take part in fashion shows at The Mall.
