FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

EGERI TOUR is one of the biggest model competitions in Europe. Each year, a selection tour is organized in France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg in order to discover the new faces of fashion.

EGERI TOUR is not a model agency. EGERi TOUR does not organize casting. This is a model contest that offer a trip to the winners and allows young fashion hopefuls to get noticed. Each candidate selected during the selection phases also has an online photo book on the website www.egeri-tour.com accessible by numerous fashion professionals. EGERI TOUR also enables models to be put in touch with professionals for various projects.

Following your participation in one of the selection phases, your photo book will be made available to the agencies working with the competition at the end of the tour.

By participating in EGERI TOUR, you benefit from an ideal international exposure to be spotted by fashion professionals. Your photo book will be posted online for 1 year and visible for free..

To live an experience :

EGERI TOUR is much more than a model contest. Throughout the adventure, you benefit from advice. Throughout the stages, you will meet seasoned professionals who will guide you in your career.

Participate in the shooting:

Each model entered in the contest is photographed by a professional and leaves with one or more high quality photos. These photos will be published on the website www.egeri-tour.com and will allow the participant to be optimally promoted.

The EGERI TOUR competition remains a unique and enriching experience. Candidates who have already signed a contract with a modeling or management agency are allowed to participate. They keep the same chances as the other candidates to win the contest and its prizes.
All selected candidates have a freely accessible online profile. A candidate can then be offered other contracts by other agencies or professionals.

Thanks to the contact form integrated in each online candidate profile on our website, we receive daily requests from modeling agencies, photographers, brands, etc...
Any request made on our website will be processed by our team and must respect our ethical charter. After studying the request, the team will contact the candidate to propose the connection with the professional.

The contest offers wide visibility to candidates through online profiles. Each candidate will be presented for 1 year on the egeri-tour.com website. The profiles are visited throughout the year by modeling agencies, reception staff (hosts and hostesses) and other professionals (photographers, brands, etc.). Having your profile online on the site increases your chances of being spotted.
