Open castings will take place during the first two weeks of June in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, followed by the Top 100 and Top 10 announcements. The public will then be encouraged to vote for their favourite entrant from the Top 10 between 4 and 10 July.

The winner of the 2017 Clicks Cover Model Search will be announced in July 2017 and will adorn the cover of over 1 million Clicks Beauty Fair leaflets and the Clicks ClubCard magazine. She will also receive a full portfolio shoot and a three-year modelling contract with top modelling agency D&A Model Management to kick-start her career, as well as a R10,000 Clicks gift card, R20,000 worth of beauty products and manicures and pedicures to the value of R3,295 from Sorbet.

Last year’s winner, Kerusha Govender, was in the Top 25 of Miss South Africa 2016 and 2015’s winner, Boipelo Mabe, was recently crowned Second Princess in Miss South Africa 2017.

Requirements

“Aspiring Clicks Cover Models need to have good skin, a beautiful smile and a healthy, fit body,” says Andrea Baptista, director of D&A Model Management. “We are looking for an outgoing individual with exceptional confidence. She needs to be a great speaker and witty conversationalist, with a sparkle in her eyes.”

Entrants need to upload three colour photos of themselves. Baptista advises the following tips to make an entry stand out:

  • Make sure you are in a place with good lighting and that your photographs are not taken at an awkward angle. 
  • There should be no distractions, such as other people crowding the photo. 
  • Because we are looking for a natural beauty, wear subtle and minimal make-up, and remember to smile.
