Show Description:

There will be two rounds for this competition. For round one, contestants will walk out in their casual attire (1) and introduce themselves. Once they present themselves, each will then model their creative / fun (2) and finally the formal (3) outfit.

After all contestants have gone, the judges will calculate their scores and pick the top 8 from the group. Next, one by one, the finalists will walk the runway again and get individually interviewed by the judges. Immediately following the interview, one of the photos taken before the show will be shown on all screens and graded. After all 8 have completed this section, the scores will be tabulated and a winner will be chosen.

1 Casual is defined as appropriate or suited for everyday wear (not dressy)

2 Creative / Fun is the category where the model uses their imagination to come up with their own personalized outfit. We encourage you to push the fashion boundaries on this one.

3 Formal is defined as designed for wear or use at occasions or events marked by elaborate ceremony.

Note: no swimsuits are allowed for any of the categories.

4 Each judge will be given an opportunity to ask the finalist one question.

5 The photo will be taken before the show and will be of them in their casual outfit. It is up to the Shine officials as to which photo will be displayed, should the contestant make the finals.

Scoring:

There are a total of 3 judges. Each category is worth a maximum 10 points / judge.

At the end of both rounds, all points will be added and the contestant with the most points is the winner.

Top 8 tiebreaker: In the event there is a tie for our top 8, the fashion segment photos of the contestants in the tie will be presented to the judges. Each judge will evaluate the photos and assign a possible score of up to10 for each contestant. This process will continue until we have our finalists.

Finalist tiebreaker: If there is a tie in the finalist round, each person in the tie will come out individually and answer one final question. Each person in the tiebreaker will answer the same question and be scored on a scale of 1-10. The person with the highest score will win that place and the others will fall successively.
