The grand finale of the Wiltshire Times & Chippenham News top model Competition has recently taken place at Club Ice in Westbury. The group of 20 finalists were all that was left from 45 initial competition entrants, with the judges choosing eight top aspiring models from the finalists who were driven away in the lap of luxury via limousine while the audience submitted their choice of winner.
The first prize of the competition was awarded to Naomi Muir, making it a double celebration as it was her 15th birthday on the same day. Second price was taken by Rachel Davis whilst third place went to Robbie Skinner. The panel of judges was comprised of Emily Free, the winner from last years competition, make up artists Sarah Brock, photographer Kevin Hall, Wiltshire Times & Chippenham News executive Denise Wood and Barry White from Club Ice. The event was choreographed by Wayne Palmer of Wayne's World of Fashion, with each finalist performing a routine during their catwalk runs.
Naomi Muir took the top prize, a complete makeover from Mane Event in Trowbridge, a full make-up session with Sarah Brock and a photo-shoot with Kevin Hall. The Ginger Snap modeling agency in Bristol were also introduced to Naomi. She said that "it was amazing but really nerve wracking. It was the best birthday present ever. My friends and family are all really hoarse from cheering me on. My parents have kept telling me how proud they are of me. I've wanted to be a model for ages."
Emily Free, winner of the 2007 competition has since been signed by five different modelling agencies and has had paid work and castings and is enjoying her career as an up and coming model.
