Mini-Grand #1
BQ - Team face $2000
Shades of Face Magazine is doing a cover shoot and they are looking for two male models. House affiliation isn’t important all that matters is that the two have undeniable face. A light paint and dusting is welcomed as long as it’s tastefully done. You will be judged on your skin, teeth, structure and your selling ability. Your look is up to you, just make sure it’s magazine cover worthy, oh and make sure you bring at least an 8x10 photo of you and your partner to the audition. In the event that one member of the team gets chopped before making it to the battle zone the other will carry on solo representing the team but there will well only receive half of the grand price $2000. Because both members of the team did not make it to the battle zone together as a team. now, if both team members get tent and they make it to the battle zone and doing competition, one team member gets chopped, you will still win the $2000 if there’s only one team member standing for the final battle
Mini-Grand #2
