LAUNCHING THE FACE OF LONDON RUNWAY 2023

It’s incredible to think it’s already been a year – but here we go again!

As we have every year since 2019, we’re looking for two models to be the Face of London Runway for the twelve months ahead Our final selection of ten models will be invited to a public voting round, where their portraits taken by our photographers will be used for the final judging. The winners get to enjoy a photoshoot with their face on the cover of the magazine, and help with their modelling careers Not only that, but we feature all of the runners-up in the pages of the magazine throughout the year and beyond!

But wait - this year, there's a twist! We're bringing in a theme for the first time ever, and where better to look for inspiration than the title of the competition itself? We're looking for the best FACE - this time, there will be no catwalk element If you aspire to be a beauty, jewellery, or portrait model, this is your year!

As always, we’re putting out a virtual casting call for the first round This means you can enter from anywhere around the UK – and even anywhere around the world, so long as you would be able to travel back to London for the semi-final and to claim your prize!

When you enter, we’ll be asking you to submit the following:

A headshot. If you don’t have this, get someone to take it for you on their phone – or stand in front of a mirror and do a selfie No makeup, plain hair, and no jewellery (we will make an exception for religious beliefs)

A short landscape-oriented video in which you say the following: “Hi, London Runway My name is and I’m going to be the Face of London Runway 2023!” (again, filming it on just a phone is fine!)

A filled-out form listing your name, physical measurements, contact details, and other information that we’ll need in order to consider you

We are throwing the doors wide open once again, so absolutely anyone can enter – no matter your age (so long as you are over 18), height, weight, skin colour, religious background, nationality, disability, gender identity you get the picture! In previous years, our finalists and winners included people from various racial backgrounds, plus-sized, androgynous, over-50s, LGBTQ+, and petite models, so don’t hold yourself back

We will have two categories open for entry: beauty and editorial. You can enter whichever category feels right to you, or even enter both if you wish Beauty models are most likely to showcase breath-taking makeup and fresh-faced skincare with less of a focus on clothing and accessories Editorial models, on the other hand, might model jewellery and hair accessories in a more fashion-centric shoot, with eye-catching clothing items to frame their face

After making our first round of selections and getting your forms filled out, we invite everyone we think we could work with to Zoom rounds which are fast-paced, fun, and accessible from wherever you might be We head into the semi-final with an in-person session to whittle it down to just ten of you for the final

There will be no charge for entry at any stage of the casting process Therefore, the only thing holding you back is yourself! Make sure to get your entries in before the closing date on the 27th May 2023!
