Mousematt Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 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).

Mousematt Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 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 Quote
Mousematt Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 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) Quote
Mousematt Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 My nominations are - Nigeria - Mayowa Nicholas South Africa - Candice Swanepoel Jamaica - Alicia Burke Japan -Tao Okamoto Netherlands - Doutzen Kroes Sweden - Elsa Hosk Quote
Mousematt Posted May 21, 2019 Author Posted May 21, 2019 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 Quote
PinkCouture Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 ^ I think it I because the directions are unclear and it is similar to another competition we have had in the past Quote
Enrico_sw Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 @Mousematt Let's go! Spoiler I'll vote for your comp. Quote
Clauds Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I'll vote! I just honestly don't understand the rules lol Quote
Joe > Average Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Maybe like the Cup of Nations but pictures based only on how they currently look? Quote
Mousematt Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 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. Quote
