It’s that time of year again when Bradford searches for its future catwalk stars.

The Telegraph & Argus Modelsearch 2010 competition is open to all-comers aged upwards of four years, with the chance for representation by professional agency DK models being the main prize. Anyone who wishes to partake in the Modelsearch contest is invited to join the celebrations at Bradford’s Kirkgate Centre on Sunday, May 16th.

The preliminary heats will be held on this date with the finalists also chosen. Those lucky enough to make it to the final will be asked to return to Kirkgate for the culmination of events which are scheduled for Monday 31st May – Bank Holiday Monday.

The Kirkgate Centre manager Catherine Riley welcomed the latest edition of the popular competition, which she said offers a rare insight for the public into the modelling world. The face of Modelsearch 2010, 18-year-old Bradford resident Sissi Crespo Gonzalez, was last year’s overall winner, enjoying DK Models’s representation free for one year.

Past winners of the Modelsearch contest have gone on to star in campaigns for the like of Sports Direct, Vidal Sassoon and Argos. There are four categories for the event, beginning at four to six, then seven to ten, and also 11 to 15 and finally 16 and over. There is no size or age limit on the latter. Entry forms are available at the Kirkgate Centre and winners will also receive a range of shopping vouchers for local outlets.
