Posted May 8, 20196 yr Last year I ran a Bellazon World Cup alongside the men's football competition (won by Brazil, represented by Lais Ribeiro). As it was fairly well received I thought I would run it again alongside the FIFA Women's World Cup that starts on June 7th. Last time I just picked a model to represent each country, but this year I'll try a 'Qualifying Stage', so we can fairly choose someone to represent each of the 24 nations taking part. I'll have nominations open for six countries at a time, although there is no need to nominate a model for every country if you don't wish to. To be eligible a model has to be born in the country they represent, and have a thread in the Female Fashion Model forum with photos from 2019. It's meant to be a competition for 2019, so models will be judged on how they look this year. Some of the countries in the World Cup are harder to find models for than others, so we will probably have to bend a few of these rules (allowing for parent's nationalities, pictures from a couple of years ago, that sort of thing).
May 8, 20196 yr Author Qualifying Week One Pick one model to represent each of the following countries - Nigeria South Africa Jamaica Japan Netherlands Sweden Nominations are open for one week The model with the most nominations will represent their country in the World Cup
May 8, 20196 yr Author Some possible models to nominate include - Nigeria - Mayowa Nicholas, Eniola Abioro South Africa - Candice Swanepoel, Genevieve Morton, Niamh Adkins Jamaica - Alicia Burke, Tami Williams Japan - Tao Okamoto Netherlands - Doutzen Kroes, Dioni Tabbers, Romee Strijd, Marloes Horst Sweden - Elsa Hosk, Kelly Gale, Josefine Forsberg But feel free to suggest any current model associated with that country (or not to nominate anyone)
May 9, 20196 yr Author My nominations are - Nigeria - Mayowa Nicholas South Africa - Candice Swanepoel Jamaica - Alicia Burke Japan -Tao Okamoto Netherlands - Doutzen Kroes Sweden - Elsa Hosk
May 21, 20195 yr Author Yeah, this isn't proving very popular, so I'll just pick the models myself (last time I did it mainly based on other competitions, best European models, best Brazilian models etc.) and start the competition alongside the real world cup on the 7th June
May 21, 20195 yr ^ I think it I because the directions are unclear and it is similar to another competition we have had in the past
May 25, 20195 yr Author Ha! The competition will work the same way I did the World Cup 2018 last year, with matches determined by the FIFA Women's World Cup that starts on the 7th June. Each country that is playing in the real world cup will be represented by a model. I was trying to run a little qualification competition to see which model represents each country, but it seem like it was too confusing.
June 1, 20195 yr hey here my votes Nigeria: Eniola Abioro South Africa: Niamh Adkins Jamaica: Tami Williams Japan: i suggest Miki Hamano Netherlands: Doutzen Kroes Sweden: Kelly Gale
June 5, 20195 yr Author Ok, so the World Cup starts on Friday. Here are the groups and the models that I currently have down to represent each country (Based largely on previous tournaments - the European Model Tournament, Best Brazilian model etc.) Group A France - Agathe Teyssier* South Korea - Ji Hye Park Norway - Frida Aasen* Nigeria - Eniola Abioro Group B Germany - Toni Garrn* China - Ming Xi Spain - Clara Alonso* South Africa - Candice Swanepoel Group C Australia - Charlie Austin Italy - Bianca Balti* Brazil - Lais Ribeiro* Jamaica - Tami Williams Group D England - Alexina Graham Scotland - Zelda Heloise Smyth Argentina- Camila Morrone Japan - Miki Hamano Group E Canada - Danielle Knudson Cameroon - Naoumie Ekiko New Zealand - Georgia Fowler Netherlands - Doutzen Kroes* Group F USA - Hannah Ferguson^ Thailand - Yada Villaret Chile - Josefina Cisternas Sweden - Elsa Hosk* or Kelly Gale *Winner of European Model Tournament or Best Brazilian Model ^ I'm sure we could argue forever about who represents the USA, but Hannah Ferguson was the highest placed contemporary model in the American Model Competition Feel free to suggest any other options, and if they prove popular I will update the list as we go.
