The nation’s station, Radio Turks and Caicos(RTC) – in its standing commitment with the TCI Top Model Contest and
Fashion Extravaganza, has once again created an
online voters poll that will feature the 2013 TCI Top Model Contestants.
The poll, which starts today, through to Monday, April 29th, is available on http://www.rtc107fm.com.
The site www.rtc107fm.com, allows
visitors to cast a vote for their favourite 2013 TCI Top Model contestant. In
real time, each visitor will see how many votes that that contestant has
received, along with her percentage points. What is more, the contestant will
receive the RTC Viewers Choice Award and a gift certificate.
Chris Jarrett, RTC Director said that: “We continually see some
of the hottest models coming out of the Caribbean, US & Europe - strutting
down the runways of the most prolific designers, being represented by some of
the biggest agencies, and we in the Turks and Caicos are making a mark too. RTC
has partnered with the TCI Top Model team for the past five years because we
believe in our people, we believe in the TCI. Being a model is not just an
ambassador for yourself, but for your country, and so in these times while we
have an ambassador on the track we need one with inner and outer beauty on the
catwalk gracing some of the world’s largest shows.”
Mr. Jarrett went on to say he that sees: “The
TCI Top Model as giving young talented ladies a grand opportunity to shine, and
our aim is to help foster that talent from the Capital to the City to the rest
of the world’s stage and eventually screen.”
In addition to the online viewers poll, in the run up to the 2013 TCI Top Model
Contest & Fashion Extravaganza – Royele Couture: LUXE, RTC’s Radio Personality Damain “Phantom” Wilson - will be
interviewing each of the 10 Contestants – giving its listeners an insight into
the ladies, in essence, getting to know them.
TCI Top Model Contest’s Director of Production, Courtney Robinson said:
“It’s an honour and a privilege to continue our partnership with the ‘Nation’s
Station’. Collaborating with RTC is important to our event, as we are
reaching the entire Turks & Caicos through their high-quality broadcasting
medium.”
“The RTC online poll in a nationwide initiative that connects the local
public and those that tune in online from other countries worldwide to the
annual TCI Top Model Contest. We could not have asked for a more fantastic
opportunity to promote local talent. As fashion, music and entertainment speaks
the same language in New York, London, Tokyo and the Caribbean – it is
imperative that we keep pace with the world, by being on the bandwidth and
digital media.”
The RTC viewers’ poll will not form part of the scores going towards
choosing the 2013 TCI Top Model Contest winner. For the competition itself, the
contestants are being judged on eight categories, with the highest score
attainable being ten (10) points. There will be pre-show and event judging. The
pre-show judging will be on Personality, Professionalism, Models Portfolio
Folder and Industry Readiness. The event judging will be on Impact Appeal
(initial presence on the catwalk), Rock That Look (Runway Walk), Royele Swim
(physical fitness in the swimsuit segment) and Fashion Forward (how best they
showcased the finale garment). These eight categories will go towards naming
the Face of the Turks and Caicos, TCI Top Model 2013.
