IF it has always been your dream to be a model, this could be your chance.

Today and tomorrow we are holding photo-shoots at the Post building in Temple Way in the search to find Bristol's Next Top Model.

All you need to do is fill out the entry form in today's paper and come along to one of the sessions, being held between 10am and 4pm, and again on June 27 and 28 at the same time.

You must also bring some photo ID with you to the photo-shoot.

If you enter the competition you could be in with a chance of winning a year's contract with Bristol's Mustard Model Agency.

We're looking for Bristol's best-looking guy and girl between 18 and 30 years old – and who are flexible, open-minded, amiable, take direction well and have a sparkling personality.

At the photo-shoot you will get your photo taken by a professional photographer, and then you will get the opportunity to come back and choose what you think is the best shot.

Everyone who enters will make it into a supplement in the Post in July, and readers will be able to vote for their favourite.

Entrants will then be whittled down to the top 40, with half chosen by readers and half chosen by a panel of judges.

In August, there will be a fashion show to choose a shortlist of 16 hopefuls, who will then have their own photo-shoots around Bristol before a grand final in September to choose the overall winners.

As well as a modelling contract, the winners will get an initial photo-shoot with Mustard Model Agency, and will get help developing a professional portfolio and ongoing support and advice.

Fiona Stoddart, advertisement director at the Post, said: "If you think you've got what it takes, get yourself down here for the photo-shoots. Whether you win or not it will definitely be a lot of fun, so come and have a go."
