On the fence about entering our Model for a Day contest? Why not give it a shot? You have until September 8. There’s been great interest from viewers across the country.

As Promotions Manager of this contest, I thought I’d take the opportunity to answer some frequently asked questions that have been coming in from our viewers:

Is the Shopping Channel looking for a supermodel type?
No, not at all. It doesn’t matter what age, size or body type you are, we want YOU to enter! Our winner could very well be a plus sized model! We are looking for an everyday viewer. Someone who wants to travel to Toronto and have fun dressing up with Shauna, Charlotte, Anne and our other models.

What if I don’t live in the Greater Toronto Area?
Not a problem! The Shopping Channel will be flying our winner (and a friend!) into Toronto, regardless if she’s from Victoria, Newfoundland or points in between. We’ll also be picking up the tab for hotel and meals for you and a friend. The only caveat is that you need to get yourself to a major Canadian International airport. We’ll take care of the rest.

What should I say in my audition video?
The only tips I can give you is to be yourself. Give us your first name, city you are from and why you should be our Model for A Day. It could be for the simple reason that you want to meet our hosts, mingle with guests like Brian Bailey or spend a day trying on some of our designer fashions. Or perhaps you want to showcase how good The Shopping Channel fashions can look on women of all shapes and sizes. Don’t forget, the winner gets a $5,000 wardrobe to take home with them.
