Undiscovered.com Kicks Off International Model Search; $100,000 Spokesmodel Contract as Grand Prize

Unique Opportunity for Aspiring Models Seeking Fame & Fortune

DALLAS, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- America's obsession with fame and fortune shows no signs of subsiding anytime soon. Popular reality shows like "American Idol" promise a record contract and celebrity status to a winner each season, and tens of thousands of aspiring singers turn out for auditions in cities across the nation hoping to be the next "big thing". The undiscovered.com international model search follows a similar format, launching a cross-country tour over the next six months in search of fresh faces to compete for a shot at fame and a $100,000 spokesmodel contract that will be awarded next year. The search kicks off with two stops in Texas at the end of March.

"We're looking for natural beauties with plenty of personality ... no experience necessary," says Amber A. Knight, Director of Public Relations and the leader of the International Model Search Team. "The winner will become the official spokesperson of undiscovered.com. She will have the opportunity to travel all over the world, representing our organization to the public at every level of the media: print, radio, television, and events. It's a dream job for any aspiring actress and model."

The "dream job" comes with a $100,000 spokesmodel contract for the first grand prizewinner in 2006. Considering UPN's hit reality show "America's Next Top Model," which just began its sixth season, also offers a $100,000 contract from Cover Girl to its winner; Ms. Knight expects a big response from the public and a broad range of new talent to choose from. "We are looking for hostmodels of all ethnicities and nationalities worldwide. She doesn't have to be 5'9", but she does have to have a great persona -- on and off camera."

"The undiscovered.com hostmodel search is a fantastic opportunity to get your face out there," agrees Christina Lindley, an up and coming hostmodel recently featured in Maxim magazine and currently on the big screen in Big Momma's House 2 with Martin Lawrence. "I wish something like this had been around when I was just starting out. Instead, I spent long hours pounding the pavement visiting agencies in New York and L.A., hoping to get in front of someone who would give me a chance."

Undiscovered.com coined the term "hostmodel" and specializes in helping hostmodels who are just starting out in their careers. A hostmodel is a new category of performer with the special ability to bridge the gap between modeling and television hosting or screen acting. "Hostmodels are rare and highly sought after," says Ms. Knight. "They possess the exceptional physical beauty essential to a model, as well as that special charm and personality that captivates an audience."

Undiscovered.com will be holding open-call auditions in cities across the United States this spring to find the top hostmodel candidates who will compete for the "dream job" later this year. The first audition will be held in Austin, Texas on Monday, March 27th at the Iron Cactus in downtown Austin. The second audition will be held in the Empire Room of Sambuca Restaurant in downtown Houston on Wednesday, March 29th. Hopeful candidates unable to attend the auditions have the opportunity to apply online at www.undiscovered.com .
