Supermodel of the World (contest)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supermodel of the World (Ford Supermodel of the Year, formerly, Face of the 80s) is the biggest modeling contest in the world. Established by Eileen Ford in 1980 it searches the pre-eminent female model in over 50 countries to find fashion's newest faces year after year. The winner of the international final event receives the industry's largest prize, a $250,000 modeling contract with Ford Models. The two runners up also receive contracts of $150,000 and $100,000 respectively. It has been neglected because of the Next Top Model franchise taking over the title of biggest modeling competition.
