2025 IS HERE! That means it is time for the 2025 East Coast USA New Year's Online Photo Contest! This highly anticipated contest is open to contestants of all ages! Age is determined as of January 31st, 2025!
NOW THROUGH MONDAY JANUARY 6TH GET 1 ADDITIONAL PHOTO UPLOAD FOR FREE! YOU MAY UPLOAD BOTH PHOTOS TO THE SAME LINK.
Get preliminary competition ready! Scores and comments will be sent after the completion of the contest. Winners will be announced by February 7, 2025.
Contestants are encouraged to showcase their unique personalities in their submissions, with photos that represent who they truly are. Whether it's a headshot, ¾ length or full-length photo, the entrant's face must be clearly visible. Please submit only natural photos or headshots with minimal editing. AI- generated photos are NOT permitted and will be subject to verification. And for those interested in modeling opportunities, we recommend submitting an additional industry-style headshot or model casting snapshot.
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST SUBMITTING A MODEL SNAPSHOT AS ONE OF YOUR FREE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS!
For example: This model is currently represented by NY Models. You can see she has her simple clear cellphone shot on the left and her more professional pageant photo on the right. This is a great example of what to submit if you don't have a professional headshot and want to be considered for representation.
Photos must be uploaded to Dropbox, instructions on accessing the Dropbox upload will be emailed on January 31st by end of day. Photos must be uploaded by February 3, 2025 AT 3:00PM late entries will not be accepted. Entries will be confirmed by Dropbox with an instant notification of a successful upload.
Optional! East Coast USA has partnered with Ascend Talent Management and Elevate Modeling Agency. As part of this collaboration, they will be selecting contestants for callbacks. This additional opportunity is free of cost, and those interested can opt-in at registration. Don't miss out on this chance!
The East Coast USA judging panel will not be aware of which contestants are chosen for Model Callbacks and those selected will not have an advantage in placement.
