So you wanna be a star?!

Models wanted! South Moon Under boutique has put out the word that they've partnered with ExploreModeling.com and is looking for models for a photo shoot scheduled to take place next spring in New York. The casting call began Dec. 6 and continues through the end of February, and is open to males and females age 16 and over. Here's more info straight from the source:


Each contestant is required to submit an entry form with photos (professional not required) on ExploreModeling.com. South Moon Under will then select six lucky winners (three females and three males) to be featured in their Spring 2011 photo shoot in New York City. Each of the six models will receive $250 in clothing products and professional tear sheets from the shoot.


Following the shoot, South Moon Under will then select one female and one male as their "Top Models" based on the day's photos. South Moon Under's "Top Models" will receive $500 cash and an additional $250 in clothing products. 


The Top 10 entrants with the most votes at the end of the contest will all be entered into a random drawing. One of these entrants will win a $500 shopping spree at South Moon Under.


There is no purchase necessary to enter. Please visit www.exploremodeling.com for contest rules and regulations. Prizes are subject to change.
