Requirements for the PLUS Model Magazine West Coast Model Search

October 9, 2009 By Editor, Madeline Figueroa-Jones Leave a Comment

Dear Readers…

Today’s question is “Why are the age requirements for the PLUS Model Magazine West Coast Model Search 18 to 26?”. Please let me explain: When you run a model contest on your own you can set the standards that you like but when you partner with an agency and a fashion company the requirements have to meet their needs as well. It would not be fair for me to offer the model contest to ages up to 36 yrs old knowing that the probability of the model being chosen as the winner was not likely. With that being said I do encourage models over the age of 26 because we are working on an amazing contest JUST FOR YOU!

Best…
