$1000 competition. Girls only! Sorry guys!

[2mind]

Hi, to kick start my daughters site nimzi.com and my own site nimzigirls.com, I'm running a competition.

We're looking for the face of Nimzigirls.com. This is a seasonal competition and will run every three months. This competition is for Face of Spring. It's open to girls between the ages of 13 and 20-ish! What we're looking for is a fresh face that embodies what nimzigirls.com is all about, being young and having fun! No need to be a supermodel!

The winner will receive $1000 to spend as they wish and will be asked to model the merchandise for nimzigirls.com, nothing special just tshirts, mugs and stuff [not wearing the mug of course:) just holding it! The winner will recieve the merchandise free :)

Details, including the entry form and judging info are here (http://nimzigirls.com/?page_id=23)

The only requirements are that you sign up to nimzigirls.com, recommend a friend to sign up too and either comment or post some content there!

The aim of the competition is to promote the site, get some content on there and some buzz going before the I launch the site 'officially' in February.

It would be fantastic if somebody helped me out by digging or stumbling the competition page.

I'm sure there is stuff I have overlooked, feel free to pm me post!

Thank you :) I hope some of you enter and good luck if you do!

[jvuonger]

What if I wear a wig?

[nina]

^Lol.
I would so enter if my parents would let me. D:
Anyway, good luck to whoever enters.

[JazzyJazzdotnet]

Im too old, bummer lol

[spotlight-shure]

I'd enter but i'm probably not what you're looking for =( I'm not pretty. Good luck though!

[2mind]

What if I wear a wig?

Just some lipstick might do it :P

^Lol.

Crap! I never thought that there might be a permission issue. I'll have to think that one out!

[2mind]

I'd enter but i'm probably not what you're looking for =( I'm not pretty. Good luck though!

Pretty is over-rated, though I'm sure you are. I'm hoping 'real' people will enter, even those who don't consider themselves pretty, because that's what Nimzigirls is gonna be about :)

[ladee_tee]

i'll enter i'm 15 does this have to be a body shot? cause i don't look that good.LOL

[2mind]

i'll enter i'm 15 does this have to be a body shot? cause i don't look that good.LOL

Yay, first entry lol ... no, head and shoulder shot is fine :)

[Sergio]

This is a cool idea. I'd do it but I'm technically not a girl. Good luck girls and stop having such a low self-esteem. It's not about being cocky, but about respecting yourself.

[lyzyrdgyzyrd]

Let the women respect themselves. But you and me could one-up each other on this, Sergio. Let's enter.

[Anne]

All right girlies, I'm 42 years old, and I've learned a few things about life so far.... You ARE beautiful, and don't let anyone tell you different. You each have something unique about you that makes you beautiful, because beauty is so much more than a pretty face. And believe me, real faces are way better than magazine faces. Now if I weren't 42, I'd enter the damn thing..... Let me know when ya start a mag for old bats...

[Andrew2]

Let me know when ya start a mag for old bats...

Does "O" Magazine count?

[Anne]

LOL! Would ya believe I've never read "O"?

[layoutcentral]

I'm entering. :)

[applebooty]

This is a really neat idea.
I might enter! :)

[Anne]

YAY Monica! I'll vote for ya..... LOL if I can vote...... And GO Ashley, I'll vote for you too!

[spotlight-shure]

no, head and shoulder shot is fine

Ok i'll enter =)

[layoutcentral]

On the sign-up form the first name fiel and the email field are mixed up with eachother. :P

[2mind]

Thanks, I think I've fixed it now :) There are probably zillions of other bugs too!!

[sprinklesparkle]

Imma enter!
Is make-up allowed in the shot or do we have to be completely natural? I'm talking about just a bit of black eyeliner, nothing drastic.

[sweet2685]

Yay! I love modeling. And I totally play a teenager on stage. ;)


Steph

[2mind]

Yeah makeup is perfectly fine :) I wouldn't be seen dead without mine, though I probably will be one day ... ugh, what a morbid thought !!

What I mean by 'natural' in the guidelines for photo submissions is just not airbrushed into a plastic barbie doll state.

[2mind]

Yep, exactly :)

BTW, Andrew your avatar is very freaky!! Looks like it needs some airbrushing to me :P

[Andrew2]

The only reason it's freaky is because of all the airbrushing ;D

[2mind]

all airbrushing is freaky :)

For those who are signing up to Nimzigirls.com, I know there is hardly any content there, I'll work on adding some stuff over the next couple of days and hopefully some of the members who join over the next few weeks will add some stuff too. So thanks for getting in at this early stage. I really appreciate it :)

[layoutcentral]

I've posted in a couple articles but still trying to think of a good article for myself to write. hehe :P

[2mind]

Be careful on this hun. If the girls are under a certain age and you are using their photo for advertising purposes then you need a parental release :)

Thanks :) You're right. I'll write this into the competition rules and guidelines.

[CharmRoyal]

I have a question - hope this isn't too off topic...

The person who wins gets sent a $1,000 check and that money is ours, we don't have to buy clothes with that money to model with correct?

You're going to send the clothes for us to wear to take pics with?

:redface: just wondering!

[Sugarlipz]

Cool. Maybe I could enter. :)

No, that's the prize and then the merch will be sent on. Nothing too fancy, just tshirts and tops!

Sugalipz, do enter :)

[CharmRoyal]

So the $1,000 is a check?

Anyway thanks for clarifying it to me! :)

That link, the "Don't forget to tell a friend" is mispelled. Is it possible to look fun in a head and shoulder shot? Lol. I have a fun looking pic, but its not just a head and shoulder shot. Then my head and shoulder look boring and nOT fun like a nimzigirl. *sigh* I dunno what to do. I'd hate for my picture choice get me booted on round 1. :\

[2mind]

lol... what the hell is a 'firend' !!! I appreciate people letting me know what's not right with the site :) Also appreciate people getting in early while the site is kinda rubbish content wise. I plan a lot of stuff for it over the xmas holidays so it's ready for the Spring launch.

If you're face is clear on the full shot and you like that photo better, go for it, I'd say :)

[Sugarlipz]

Sorry to bother AGAIN, but the word "forget" is still mispelled. :\
Thanks for the advice. I'll look over a few with my hubby and see what he thinks. Except, I couldn't even win the charolette russe contest. Lol.

[2mind]

all fixed now ... I hope :)

[Sugarlipz]

Yup. I entered. Lol. I feel cheesy. On the contest form, I said I was referring My friend "Vanessa" Then I didn't. I referred Trina. So I hope that doesn't mess everything all up. :D

[2mind]

Nah, it's fine. Thanks for entering :)

[Sugarlipz]

You said you were waiting for the numbers to set a deadline. How many at the very LEAST do you want before judging?

And Linda, You NEED to enter. Btw, this is Meg'n. Lol.

[xJennax]

[layoutcentral]

[mintmelon]

[2mind]

You said you were waiting for the numbers to set a deadline. How many at the very LEAST do you want before judging?


I think at least 100 but I'm hoping for lots more :)

Thanks Jenna, I published your article just now! Thanks for adding it :) Everybody, please add more. It will help the site be way better !!

Polls don't seem to be appearing for me to approve. I'll have to look into that! Did you make sure to select published instead of draft in the post status on the right menu!!

Thanks again everybody for getting involved !

[mintmelon]

[omen]

What about hot guys to go along with girl.

[Sugarlipz]

Hot guys are hard to come by. ;) Besides, shes not looking for a "hotgirl" I hope anyways. I think she said "fun and fresh" :D

[Mixi]

I'll ask my sisters tomorrow if they want to enter

[2mind]

entered Did you get mine? Rachel? I hope so!

Yep, sure did. Just a few more entries and I'll be posting up a page with the entries so far but voting be won't starting yet.

lol .. Omen, your avatar is just too gross.

Megan, you're right it's not about being 'hot', though Omen would probably like it to be :P

Thanks mixi, I appreciate it!!

[Sugarlipz]

OMG, are people gonna see us? You're going to post our pics up? Lol, this is good yet bad. I'd feel shy just to lose. Lol, I have a HUGE fear of rejection, can ya tell? I am interested in seeing everyone else. Woot.

[2mind]

Don't worry Meg I think it will be a little while before I have enough entries to post up pics. Signups are so sloowww!!! I have a few ideas for marketing signups. I'm gonna try one today, hopefully it will work :)

[Kasami2k4]

Can I enter with a webcam pic? I'll try for a big goofy smile.

..Do I have to shave? ;(

[2mind]

lol .. no, don't shave, a few hairy girls will add choice to the competition when it comes to voting :)

[sprinklesparkle]

I entered my pic. :)
I edited the eye colour though...If this is against the rules, let me know and I'll re-enter with the natural eye coloured one.

[centerstage]

[Sugarlipz]
