Initially, AFM set a goal of finding 50 worthy participants to compete in the first-ever Face of Foothills semi-finals, but had enough amazing faces to comprise a semi-finalist group of 100 models. Now, one week into the contests, contestants have as many as 1.7 million votes each, making for an intense, nail-biting voting extravaganza. Through two rounds of Web voting, concluding October 18, the candidates will be whittled down to the Top Ten from 100 Semi-Finalists. The ten favorites will meet the magazine's creative staff who will determine a winner.
The Top Ten Finalists will have friends and family at the finale event, held at W Scottsdale November 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. The ultra-hip party will be the official announcement of the winning model, complete with appetizers from Sushi Roku, fashion and Champagne. The Top Ten Finalists will all participate in the event and receive hair and makeup compliments of Taglio Salon.
The Face of Foothills model search winner will receive an unbelievable Grand Prize package, including priceless exposure and goodies valued at more than $10,000! The winner will receive:
* A cover and spread in the February 2010 issue of Arizona Foothills Magazine, which includes styling and a professional shoot with AFM’s Creative Director and Fashion Director
