Where will contestants stay?
This is part of our rules and regulations. It is mandatory for all contestants to book their rooms through Miss Fashion Global. We usually have two designated hotels. A deposit of $50 is required to hold your room. A hotel invoice will be emailed to all the contestants. The hotel invoice is set up for payments to be paid in full before the competition. The hotel must be paid by the deadline date. If not paid, you can be disqualified from the competition.
Why is it Mandatory to book my room through Miss Fashion Global?
The designated hotels are sponsoring the competition. Room rates are adjusted by how much event space is used for the competition. The number of contestants who book rooms goes towards our sponsorship rate that the hotel offers. This helps lower the cost of the competition. The contestant's name must be on Miss Fashion Global’s hotel rooming list to compete. It also helps with the accountability and safety of every contestant.
Do you offer training for the competition?
We offer a Master Workshop class at the Elite competition. It is optional to participate! The runway portion of this class is taught by Victoria Henley from America’s Next Top Model. Detailed information about the Master Workshop will be in the competition packet that is emailed to every contestant.
