Their Official Press Release:
"Blueprint Events and Show Production begins their search for the 2007 Nigerian Next Top Model which would end in a grande finale before a live audience of 2000 ticket holders and millions (across Europe and Africa) of satellite viewers."
"This event is a new hybrid contest.A fantastic and viable platform designed to find top models that will be worthy ambassadors of the most thriving, successful and vibrant black community in the world today – Nigeria.
It supports the wider rebranding efforts currently underway as the country positions itself in deed, actions and interactions as the ‘Heart of Africa’.
A radical departure from previously conceived notions of ethnic minority modelling and pageant competitions, it is a pacesetter and it injects much needed quality, vibrancy, professionalism and va-va-voom showmanship into proceedings!
It is a show that tells it as it is – that indeed good things can and do come out of Africa! Nigeria especially!
This competition is open to any aspiring or experienced Nigerian model that is still looking for that big break/platform from which she can take off."
"What we are looking for is not just facial beauty, we look for stage presence, performance, grace, carriage, eloquence and intelligence.
Top Model is about diversity, exoticism, beauty, intelligence, pride and glamour.
It is about redefining African and ethnic beauty.
We identify talents and position them for great things. We realise dreams and make tangible promised benefits.
Through our efforts we renegotiate a new identity of the African as urban yet cosmopolitan; and in so doing, secure Africa a place on the world's fashion map"
--Sandra-Walberta Powers – Event Convenor and Creative Director of Blueprint Events.

the NNTM pictures actually look good. i got to see Britains Top Model and was very dissapointed. The whole show was tacky.. and the lady tryna be like Tyra irritating.
i dont like da first pics of fa naija nxt top model girls but 2nd 1 is really nice ,u see da naija top models unlike their american counterparts(that mostly look under fed and hungry) have nice figures though they are slim
I like some of the designs of the bridal designer. However, I will say it again I know Naija has more fine babes than these ones. But I will save my judgement.
Abujababe---as far as i know,this event hasnt got the Next top model franchise,but i'll be speaking to Sandra soon,and i'll ask her...but as for the Eloho own,didnt know oh,babes...keep me informed oh!;-) Me sef tire for the Stars on d runway thing oh,it berra b guud!
Toni Payne---I agree,the British version wasnt the best,so i hope this one (NNTM) turns out okay... how hav you bin oh?;-)
@Racquelle-cutie---You know!thats d shape we are all trying to attain oh!
@Simply Gorgeous---Yes,naija babes are fyne,but you know how fyne gurls are shy and what not ;-)will be cool to see how the show pans out...will put up pics then.
