Only CFW 2013 models booked for a runway show will be eligible for the Competition. This does not guarantee a model will advance as a finalist.  Selection for the Competition is based on industry criteria including runway walk, photogenic appeal, facial structure/unique attributes, commercial appeal, and match with current modeling and fashion industry “look”, and professionalism.  Models will be judged in three phases which include:

 

• Phase 1: Participating CFW 2013 retailers and designers select their top two models
• Phase 2: Models are required to attend all mandatory rehearsals where the preliminary CFW Model Panel will be judging each model's performance based upon the industry criteria listed above.  
• Phase 3: Model Panel judging week of the event and night of final Competition

 

The Top Finalists for the Competition will be notified at a mandatory model rehearsal, specifics to be announced at a later date. Finalists then compete in the Rock the Runway Competition™ on Friday March 22, 2013 at Charleston Fashion Week^®, with the Female and Male Grand Prize Winners being announced at the end of the evening.
