Deatherella, I have responded to your PM. It should work for MTS because although hotlink protection is enabled MTS is among the enabled referrers. Please try it again. If it still does not work I can PM you at your newly registered account.
Oh, and thank you christmas fear! That was my fault because I didn't post that you had to wait. Hopefully we will be able to post the scores before the 12th. Also, if you are using those pictures for your portfolio pictures, you need one more.

Valetta Howard - Application
I hope this is okay, I'm sorry I didn't get it in before the 9th. Hello everyone!
I'm Valetta Howard and I'm interested in applying to be the photo stylist for your model Christina Bergwitz. I'm nearly 30 and for the past six years, I have worked as a creative director on photoshoots for several established modelling agencies and fashion magazines. I first started working in fashion, when I was in my late teens and I became a part time model for an agency and was chosen for several promotional campaigns and adverts.
This is one I did from a spreadshoot in a magazine advertising "La Belle Mer Eau de toilette". At the time it was great but I actually had to wear the perfume and it gave me a rash afterwards!
URL=http://img710.imageshack.us/i/snapshot782855f7f82af0a.jpg/][/URL]
I eventually moved on from modelling, when I met my husband Austin and we had our two children Eve and Seth. They are adorable, although extremely hard work. Having kids has to be the best thing I've ever done because you I believe that youbreally get a sense of perspective about who you are and where your life is going. Actually, it was essentially that, that made me realise that I didn't really want to be a model and would far prefer to work behind the scenes of fashion shoots. I was never really in to 'being in the limelight' as they say. When I'm not working (or taking care of my little monsters!) I love to paint, read romace novels, go clothes shopping and go to the gym. There's nothing like exercise and retail therapy to cheer you up on a bad day. Well apart from chocolate!
In the past, I've worked on all different types of photo shoots and met many gorgeous and talented people. Me and my work partner Adam, who takes the shots of the models love to meet and work with new people as we often like to incorporate a little bit of their personality in to the photoshoot! This helps us to get to know them better and generally helps to make the models feel more at ease in front of the camera. Adam and I would love to have the opportunity to work with Christina. We agreed that she has an amazing amount of potential and a very versatile look - she is a natural beauty. Although, I might not have as much experience as other applicants, I have been working as a creative director for a while and I am extremely dedicated to my job and have a lot of both artistic spirit and determination, which I always apply to the photo shoots. I hope you will consider signing Christina to work with Adam and I.
Thank you!
PS: Here are some photoshoots that I have worked on in the last few years.
"No Escape" 2005 - Model: Mary-kate Thorn.
" Platform 4" 2007 - Models: Skylar Edison and Castor Nova. (Promotional shot for Urban Soul clothing.)
" The Elysian Fields" 2008 - Model: Heather Jackson.

Application
Right, thought I would have a go. Never done a modelling/beauty contest before but here goes nothing.

Name: Francine Claymore
Age: 26
Hi there! I’m Francine. I am currently a part time student and part time photographer. I tried modelling for a short while but found that it wasn’t really for me even though I had a perfume named after me as well as being the 'face' of it! I liked the creative and photography part of it more so that’s why I have gone back to studying - to learn more about it.
In my spare time, I love to read trashy romance novels, spend time with my very spoilt cat called Persia and take trips to different places so I can get ideas and take photographs.
Part I:
Photo of me and one from my modelling days.
Headshot:
Bodyshot:
Part II:
Some work that I done with other models that I am very proud of.
Portfolio:
Part II:
Why should I be a finalist? This is may be very cheesy but I believe that everyone brings something different on and off the camera and I would like to see how I can work my magic on the lovely Christina and what we can do together. It will be a challenge and I hope to learn something new.

christmas fear, for the application you needed a headshot, a model pose shot, and three portfolio shots. You can look at the other contestants applications if you are confused. They all did it correctly.
Thanks to the new applicants as well! I'm so glad you guys decided to join. It's a good thing I've extended the application round. I almost gave up. :D
Raindrops, you have nothing to worry about. Your application is fine. I'm going to add you and Meeka to the main post and send you two Christina immediately.

i edited my post. i got paint shop pro installed so i touched up and resized the pictures. they are all the same size now. i also added my missing portfolio shot.
i should also say now that i'm really relieved that i have until the 13th to start on round one again. i thought we had to start after round 1 was posted. i can also have more time to work on it between now and then.

Actually, you have until the last day of round 1 to work on it. Once the round closes (when I post that it's closed) then you cannot edit your entry. Round 1 ends on the 16th so you still have plenty of time to work on it. I will try to post all of the rounds early so that you can at least think about what you will do while you are waiting for scores to be posted.
Also, 2 of the judges scores are in for the 7 contestants that we have so far, we are only waiting on one. So, hopefully we will have the scores posted by the 12th so that everything will be on schedule. I'm going to find out if this competition can progress with 7 contestants if that's all we have by the 13th. I would just adjust the eliminations per round. I would hate for people to have started and their work go to waste.
EDIT: Everyone on the contestants list should have Christina now, if you do not please PM me so that I can send her to you. Thanks again for joining and I hope you all have fun. :D

Application Scores: Make Me A Model
Application Scores:
Judge One
Freelala - Eden Sawyer
Overall Skill Level: 50/50
What was done well? When I look at this picture I can't spot one flaw! I love the detail and the fact that I feel that you put in so much work!
What needs work? My only word of advice is to keep bringing it! This is truly beautiful!
Overall Commentary: I believe that you really thought about every possible aspect. The angles are terrific! I feel as though you are a photographer who stepped into the world of the Sims to take each picture yourself(if that makes sense).
Deatherella - Deborah Johnson
overall skill level:45/50
what was done well? I believe that your sims are constructed very well. They are absolutely beautiful!
I love how you made your sim multi-talented. You show that a pretty face can go very far
what needs work? I feel that you made a great effort, however I would like to see more detail in both the
face as well as the background. I want to be able to feel the message that you are attempting to portray
just by looking at the picture.
Overall commentary: I believe that you have great talent and with a little more work you can bring out
a wonderful side of Christina for the world to see!
Aba23 - Loredana Fletcher
Overall Skill level:47/50
What was done well? I believe that your sims are so beautiful! I feel that you really took the time to
really think about the poses. I especially love the confidence that your sim has. She just knows that she
is a star maker!
What needs work? I would like for you to work on your background a little bit. I feel that you can definitely
bring out a little more. I want to see more of the models' faces.
overall commentary: I believe that your sim loves the camera and I feel that she loves the models as well.
I know that you will bring out the natural star in Christina in a way that no one else could!
Noteardrops - Marisol Johnson
Overall skill level: 49/50
What was done well? All of it! I love the feeling that I get when I look at your pictures! They just look so warm
and candid. I don't feel as if they are really posing. It looks as if they are really in the moment and the cameras
are nowhere in sight. They are just lovely!
what needs work? All I would ask is to see more levels in the modeling meaning some high, some low, etc.
Overall commentary: You definitely has what it takes to steer Christina in the direction that she is trying to go in...
In fact, you have what it takes to take her to her exact destination and back! I am loving your work!
Christmas fears - Lily Sanderas
overall skill level: 40/50
What was done well? Your sim is gorgeous! she looks like the type of woman that everyone can relate to. I get the feeling
that she is a well grounded individual.
what needs work? I would like for you to put more thought into your background and try to focus more on the feeling that you
you are trying to portray. I would have also liked it if she had on more clothes in front of her son. From the photos submitted
I don't feel her passion for modeling or for style.
Overall commentary: Your sim is very beautiful and I believe with a little more dedication she can bring out something wonderful in
Christina. I can't wait to see how you will grow in the future rounds!
Raindrops757 - Valetta Howard
Overall skill level: 41/50
what was done well? Your sims are really beautiful. I like how they are all beautiful without
really trying.
What needs work? Although I like how your sims are beautiful without trying, I would like to
see more. I feel that it lacks effort. The shots that you captured lacks focus for me. I
really want to see more.
Overall commentary: I see potential in your work. With more focus and effort I believe that you will
definitely have what it takes to get Christina to the next level.
Meeka - Francine Claymore
Overall Skill level:48/50
What was done well? Your sims are so lovely! I could be wrong but I get the feeling that
you love nature. Your work displays tranquility for me. I see that you bring out the
gental side of your subjects.
What needs work? Although I love your work, I would love to see a little more drama and intensity.
Overall commentary: I really love your work and even though they are all different models I can tell that this is your work. Your photos leave me wanting more so... give it to me! I believe that you are an excellent match for Christina!
Military.fashionshow - Audrey Greene
Overall skill level: 50/50
What was done well? I love your sim! She is absolutely
flawless! I love how modeling isn't even listed as one of her
yet she does it so well!
What needs work? Honestly, I feel that you have executed this
task very well. You just gotta keep it going!
Overall commentary: You definitely have what it takes to get
Christina to where she wants to be. In fact, you can take her
a little further if you'd like! Keep bringing it because you definitely
got skills!
Judge Two
Freelala - Eden Sawyer
Overall Skill Level: 50/50
What was done well? Your picture quality is outstanding! I also think that you are very creative as far as setting up your scenes and posing your model. Eden is very confident and I love her "I am the ish" attitude. A very beautiful, well thought out application!
What needs work? I can't find a single flaw! :D
Overall Commentary: You have a very distinct, realistic style in your pictures and I love that! You've already grasped the high fashion element and this competition is about making Christina well known. I know you can do that.
Deatherella - Deborah Johnson
Overall Skill Level: 43/50
What was done well? I can tell that you and Deborah are very good at expressing yourselves verbally. You have a knack for storytelling and as far as your pictures, I think your close up shots are the most beautiful! You have a knack for bringing out the beauty in your models. I know this talent will serve Christina well in this competition.
What needs work? I think your backgrounds/props need more consideration. When choosing a good background there doesn't always have to be so much involved. I think for you less would be more. And, if you feel that you must absolutely have everything in your background that's there, it's very important to make your model stand out. Your model should never just blend in. I think you should spend a little time in your graphics editing program to see what effects you can achieve to get your models to stand out among the elaborate backgrounds. You can try color splash, gradient layers, lighting effects, etc.
Overall Commentary: I trust that Christina is in really good hands with you. For this first round I would say focus a little more on the layout of your bodyshots (backgrounds, etc.) and try the effects that I mentioned above.
aba23 - Loredana Fletcher
Overall Skill Level: 46/50
What was done well? I just know that Christina will be well taken care of with you. Loredana exudes confidence and beauty. She is so gorgeous in that model shot! Would you happen to have her available for download? Ok, so what you did well, I've noticed that you have progressed and you really know how to show your models!
What needs work? I would say to try to pay more attention to the details in the background. Also, there are certain times where you don't really need a lot going on in the background. For example, that last shot from your portfolio could have just been grass and a sky in the background. Maybe a couple of weeds here and there to give it that simple magazine quality that I know you can achieve.
Overall Commentary: I know that I will continue to see improvement in your pictures and that's what this competition is all about. Christina is going to enjoy going on this ride with you as well.
noteardrops - Marisol Johnson
Overall Skill Level: 48/50
What was done well? Almost everything was done well!
What needs work? I think the edges of your models appear to be very pixelated (except the first portfolio shot). If you have done everything the game has allowed and the edges still appear too pixelated, then I would suggest going into your graphics program, adding another layer and just smoothing out these edges. It shouldn't take very much but it is very effective.
Overall Commentary: Overall, I truly loved your application and I look forward to seeing what you will do with Christina.
christmas fears - Lily Sanderas
Overall Skill Level: 40/50
What was done well? I especially loved the fact that Lily is your typical woman and she is in love with her family.
What needs work? I think overall your pictures have potential. You can definitely pose your sims but, you just aren't capturing their best angles. Also, your backgrounds need a bit more work. I know you said that this is your first competition so, if you would like, as you post your round pictures I can assess them for you and tell you exactly what you will need to do to take it to the next level.
Overall Commentary: You definitely have potential. I think if you put more effort into your background, poses and overall feelings you are trying to portray you can get much better results. Before capturing your pictures, you should think about what you want people to get from it when they look at it. Again, if you need more help I will be here checking the thread at the very LEAST once a day.
Raindrops757 - Valetta Howard
Overall Skill Level: 42.5/50
What was done well? You gave us great insight into Valetta. I feel like I know her and she's so loveable and seems very well grounded. I love her passion for the camera and it's that reason that I trust that Christina will be in good hands.
What needs work? I think you need to focus on your composition when taking pictures. To me, there doesn't seem to be a definite focus and I think maybe centering or even going with an assymetrical layout will work well. Angles are a bit harder to do especially with the game camera. I do think that once you get the straight on focus down that you will be able to capture any angle.
Overall Commentary: Valetta is indeed passionate about fashion but, I think it needs to translate to your pictures. You should try finding some magazine ads and attempt to duplicate them. I think this will be good practice for you and I also think that it will make your photos better.
Meeka - Francine Claymore
Overall Skill Level: 47/50
What was done well? I absolutely loved your application! Your photos are of great quality and I loved how I got that "artsy" vibe from Francine.
What needs work? I think your photos are only missing "the final touches." Slight touch ups should take your photos to the next level.
Overall Commentary: Beautiful entry and you made me glad that applications were extended! I really look forward to seeing what you will do with Christina.
military.fashionshow - Audrey Greene
Overall Skill Level: 47.5/50
What was done well? You have a very beautiful ethereal quality to your pictures making them so soft and feminine! I also loved how sweet Audrey seemed.
What needs work? I think for future rounds, especially the first round, you should have a little more going on in your backgrounds. You don't have to make it too cluttered or noisy back there, just give us something that adds to a theme, emotion or whatever you are trying to portray.
Overall Commentary: Overall this was a beautiful entry! The extra effort put into that second portfolio shot made me smile. If you get as creative with your backgrounds as you are with your sims and posing them, I know you will do really well. :D
Judge Three
Freelala – Eden Sawyer 49.5/50
I loved your Santa Fe pic, the concept was really original and I love the way you integrated sim world and real world together. Nice touch with the high noon shadow and sheen on her skin like she’s really stuck out in the baking sun. I love the variety in your portfolio, each pic is vastly different and you still worked in the high fashion concept. Overall you show real flare for photoshopping and setting atmosphere. There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like.
Deatharella - Deborah Johnson 46/50
I loved your Zombie pic; very original. You show good variety in your portfolio though I think you could’ve made a better choice than your last pic as although the model is very pretty I don’t feel it really shows off what you could be capable of: It doesn’t really allow for composition or set design etc unless you were just going for focus comparison? Very nice work on your poses overall.
Aba23 - Loredana Fletcher 48/50
Loredana’s model shot is hot! I like the different atmospheres in each pic and your poses too. You portray moods very well. I found some of the lighting a tad off for my liking; Keisha seemed a little too dark whilst Loredana seemed to have too much light on her face when the sun is supposed to be behind her.
Noteardrops - Marisol Johnson 45/50
I love Marisol’s alternative look and career history. You’ve put thought into the concepts behind the pics but I have to say when I think ‘man cave’ I think beer, not champers, lol (unless that was ironic?) I really like the vibrant colours and careful poses throughout your portfolio. Maybe try a little less blur in future pics clear and in focus isn’t a negative thing.
PS, I love the name Marisol
Christmas fear - Lily Sanderas 39/50
Wow, Lily is very pretty. Since you had a body shot and model pose I wasn’t sure which was for Part 1 and which was part 2. I assumed from the wording that the ‘model pose’ was for part 1 in which case I felt that your body shot was nice for reportage but I would hope for a more stylised and composed shot in your top 3 portfolio pics. The next portfolio pic (second one down) was quite raunchy, is Lily a glamour model? lol. Your lighting was really effective and your poses very powerful. Your last portfolio shot was very similar in concept and set design to the others. In future rounds you should try to add variety to your pics showing original and creative ideas. Oops, you missed part III entirely. It’s a good idea to make a list of all the round requirements and tick them off as you go so you don’t forget anything.
Raindrops757 - Valetta Howard 49/50
Nice back story but I feel you gave yourself more work than you needed to, half of that would’ve covered everything you needed (don’t worry, I haven’t deducted points for that, just my opinion). One of your biggest strengths is definitely set design. You’re very good at setting the mood too; I specifically love the ‘no escape’ pic. There’s so much realism in your platform 4 pic, it’s very gritty, I like. Overall very creative and varied.
Meeka – Francine Claymore 48.5/50
I really love Francine’s look, she almost looks like she’s a TS3 sim in that first shot (that’s good in my books, lol). You show a lot of originality and creativity in all your shots though as I’ve said in previous entries, I feel that close up head shots really don’t have much place in portfolios (as far as this contest is concerned anyway) as you can’t really show off much in the way of technique, composition, set design and layout. That said, I do like your framing and she is very pretty
I can’t get over how much I love your last pic. Everything about it is stunning and really visually effective, nice work.
Military.fashionshow - Audrey Greene - 47/50
Audrey is very pretty. Your photoshopping (or whichever image software program you use) skills are obviously quite adept which will stand you in good stead throughout this contest however I feel you may have gone a little overboard with the blur tool on some of your images. I know I’ve said it before so I’d like to stress that blur can be very effective in some situations but every other picture does not need to be blurred to the max. I especially liked your swimwear shot. I love the mixed textures and raw materials of the set design though it would’ve been nice to see Audrey look into the camera. Your last portfolio shot is very candid and in my opinion, not really the sort of image that I would expect to see in the top three of somebody’s portfolio. I think it would’ve worked better if you swapped your body shot from Part 1 with this shot. Overall I got the impression that Audrey was entering as a model since all the pics are of her and she doesn’t seem to mention at any point being interested in fashion, photography, modelling or directing models. I haven’t deducted points for this though since I could easily have the wrong impression but have added it to remind you to read the rules (inc following posts about rules clarifications) thoroughly before submitting your final entry.

Just to make sure that I understood correctly this time, a few questions for Round 1:
Do not really understand this assignment - does she have to just 'hang around' on the set or should it be modelling for a certain photo shoot?
Does it really have to be the same hair, makeup and outfit in all three pictures? So she will be the same Doll in all of them and it is only about the pose?

Photo 1: ON THE SET... For this shot, you will just be showing Christina in hair and makeup. Along with this frame, you must explain the inspiration or thought process behind the make-up and clothes you have chosen. |

Quote:
Photos 3-5: 3 pictures all with the same hair, make-up and outfit, showcasing Christina as a doll. These shots are mainly for you to play around and see what results you can get. For each of these photos explain what you did and what you were thinking when making them. |

Thanks to the judges for all the scores I will try to take the comments on board and work better with the camera angles and picture capture.
SolidGoldFunk- I don't seem to be able to download Christina because my package installer wouldn't install the content because there was content from an expansion pack that I didn't have. I have University, OFB, Seasons, Nightlife, Apartment Life and Pets, so is there any way that I would be able to download her?

The only thing that I have that you do not is Freetime. Maybe thats what you are missing. However when you use cleaninstaller then it should work, I think.

My big question for round 1:
For Photo 1, is the shot supposed to be shoulders up or full body? It doesn't say either specifically and I'm not sure since we are to show her hair and makeup.
And, now that my game is running and I have went to CAS to fetch Christina out of the line-up, where do we find her hair as pictued in your photo? I get her in a bun, and would prefer the hair in your original. Just being anal here.

military.fashionshow, beautiful start! I will try to have your scores posted by the 14th or 15th.
aba, you are correct about using clean installer. It should work after that because sims do not require EP's.
aba and Deatherella, the way you choose to portray her on the set is completely up to you. You can have her hanging around or you can have her modeling but it must be obvious that she is on a set. If you can get your background to look like a set in a close up shot then go for it. This competition is about what your applicant can do creatively. As for photos 3-5 yes she must be the same doll in these pictures. You may change your sets and poses but not the hair and makeup. The goal was to be as realistic as possible. In reality you will get a certain amount of frames to capture what works best for your model and that's what this part is mimicking. Please be warned that your pictures are being judged on quality and of course creativity if there is no real variety in these 3 pictures then realistically you don't have a best shot out of the bunch which will have you miss a total of 30 points/judge. Feel free to go all out with this, the same hair and make up does not equate to the same picture and feeling.
EDIT: Oh sorry Deatherella I didn't see your hair request. The hair in the picture is a pay hair from NewSea which is why it was not included. You can download it from the booty but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link it here.
NOTE: beeps has informed me that if we cannot accumulate 10 contestants by the end of the application round tomorrow, the winner will not be eligible to receive a star. I hope this doesn't deter anyone from continuing because it can still be fun.

Round 1 Info
Hey you guys! It's me..before we get started..I want to note to the judges.. Note: Judges,sorry about the pixels. I'm new to this and couldnt figure it out. If you ever get the time on your hands after the contest,I'd appreciate if you would teach me how to hide/get rid of it on gimp.
Anyways..

It being around winter here..I decided to for-go with snowfall. I believe in my point of view it showcases the beauty and wonder of Ms.Bergwitz.
Part 2:
Coming Soon,having sims issues xD
Part 3:
When I was taking these pictures,I was thinking "heavenly doll,heavenly doll." I wanted to present a slightly alternative look mixed with a elegant heaven,and this was what I came up with. I hope you like! Mwah! :P

WOW noteardrops! That second part III shot is just gorgeous! The first shot is also beautiful but it's supposed to be Christina in hair and make-up on a set. Like she's in the process of getting ready for the shoot. Oh and do you have a screenshot of your graphics setting in your game? I could probably help you now if you want.

Round 1
Here we are, getting ready for the photoshoot. We considered all types of dolls, from corn husk to Barbie, but ultimately, I felt most inspired by Victorian porcelain dolls. With her pale skin, dark hair, and bright eyes, Christina already looked the part of a porcelain doll. We decided to play up those features, and browsed antique stores for props and costumes. The studio was transformed into a Victorian child's room, and the most prized doll in our collection was almost ready.First, though, we had to get the perfect picture to advertise the makeup we used for the shoot! I use this collection all the time at home - it's one of my personal favorites.
Finally, I give you the three best the pictures from our shoot. This first one is my personal favorite because it was a complete accident. Linus, the photographer, and I both really wanted to use the adorable pink stool Christina is sitting on. We loved the stool, but ultimately decided against it because the white wood finish didn't match with the rest of the furniture. Before we could take it off the set, Christina sat down on it to take a break while Linus and I were exchanging ideas, and then Linus exclaimed "That's it! That's my shot!" and got this picture in one frame. (As for who got to take the stool home after the shoot, though... well, we've worked out a joint custody agreement. Meaning I keep the stool and Linus retains custody of his joints.)
I like this picture because it shows off Christina's height. We wanted a standing shot of sorts, but she's a doll and dolls can't stand on their own. Half-jokingly, Charlie, one of the lighting technicians, suggested we hang her from one of the lamp. The rest is history.
Finally, I wanted one of Christina among the other toys. Ultimately, we were trying to convey a sense of transition. The toys are still abundant, but the hat and purse in the background symbolize that the little girl who owned them perhaps isn't so little anymore. There comes a time in every toy's life where they are set on the floor and won't be picked up again by the child who once couldn't let it go.
