The deadline to enter Dubai’s biggest model search, the “BurJuman Super Model 2006” competition, has been extended by two weeks to 20 February in order to facilitate and process entries.
The competition, being run in conjunction with the leading fashion magazine, Grazia, luxury boutique chain, Paris Gallery and BareFace modeling agency, aims to find the freshest young talent in the region.
Scouts from BareFace will be at the mall on Wednesday 8 February from 4-9 pm and also on Thursday 9 February from 2-8 pm where they will be on the lookout for fresh faces, who will be invited to participate in the contest.
Entrants stand the chance of not only winning the title of ‘BurJuman Supermodel 2006’, but also a lucrative modeling contract with BareFace and the chance to appear in local and international advertising campaigns.
Other prizes include magazine features, membership to New Generation Paris Gallery, an AED 10,000 gift hamper from Paris Gallery and BurJuman gift vouchers valued at AED 20,000. Runner-up winners will receive a luxury gift hamper from Paris Gallery.
“We are excited to lend our expertise to this unique national talent search,” said Justine Kirby, Director of Model Management, Bareface. “BurJuman, with its unparalleled portfolio of fashion outlets attracts UAE’s fashion conscious set and we anticipate a huge response this weekend.”

The judging panel, which will include senior fashion editors, photographers and advertisement directors, will run a series of qualifying rounds and make their final decision at a grand finale in February 2006.
