PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

The following is a breakdown of the Participation Criteria for Top Model 2025 along with general notes of what applicants should expect during the application process. Please e-mail us with any questions.

Top Model is a professionally run model experience campaign and fashion event show and has various commitments that participants are required to adhere to.

• UK applicants/participants must be female and aged 13 years or over OR male and aged 18 years or over before 20th September 2025.

• International (Worldwide) applicants/participants can be female or male and must be aged 18 years or over before 20th September 2025.

• Selected participants must be able to attend the final show in London in September 2025 and attend the relevant Fittings & Rehearsals day beforehand.

• Top Model is a unique, genuine model experience and fashion event during London Fashion Week. Top Model is not a beauty pageant and prides itself on such. Full professional training, coaching, mentoring and support is provided, culminating in a professionally produced runway show. It is FREE TO APPLY to be considered as a Top Model participant but all participants must willingly support the charity fundraising and adhere to this Participation Criteria.

• Once we have received an application submission to be considered as a Top Model participant, we will look at place availability at the time and offer participant places on a ‘suitability basis’ accordingly. Places each season are limited.

• Applicants will be requested to submit 1-2 natural images with their application email (not professional pictures).

• There are five experience categories that a Top Model 2025 participant can be allocated to. They are: Editorial (ages 14 to 19 and 20 to 29), Commercial (ages 14 to 25), Men (ages 18 to 29), Over 25’s (26-35 and 36+) and Worldwide (ages 16-29). Top Model will allocate applicants to a specific category, once they are confirmed as a participant.

• Participants (not applicants) are required to fund a minimum charity donation (Place Confirmation) of just £150 to confirm their place in the TOP MODEL 2025 experience, once offered a place. The Place Confirmation donation is paid direct to the charity and can be funded through one source or multiple sources and can be from individuals, professional organisations, companies, local businesses, groups of friends, family etc OR a Finalist can fund it themselves. The Place Confirmation is to help cover a proportion of the costs associated with a finalists participation (similar to a charity parachute jump or marathon where there is a minimum amount that a participant has to raise/pay etc) and is paid direct to the charity as a charity donation.

• In addition, each finalist agrees to raise a minimum of £100 charity fundraising to support the official Top Model charity through individual Top Model online profile pages, which the charity will build on behalf of all finalists through the Just Giving platform.

• Each selected participant is also required to sell or purchase a minimum of Four (4) tickets of any ticket value to the Top Model 2025 event show that the participant is appearing in, in order to provide further support for the charity and to enhance the overall event.
