ASPIRING models in Bulawayo are being presented with an opportunity to gain national fame as the Miss Tourism Zimbabwe team will be in the city today to scout for models for the inaugural pageant.
The auditions kick off in the morning at the Bulawayo Rainbow Hotel with the pageant expected to take place on November 26 at the Harare International Conference Centre.
To be part of the contest, aspiring models must be holders of an ‘A’ level certificate with a diploma or degree being an added advantage. The girls must be between 18 and 24 years, single and have no criminal record.
Miss Tourism Zimbabwe spokesperson Vimbai Chikomo said before auditioning, the girls would need to fill application forms.
“From 10AM to 11AM, we’ll take applications from the aspiring models. Thereafter, we’ll start conducting auditions,” said Chikomo.
“We hope to find two contestants from each province. However, this will depend on the quality of the contestants in each city. You’ll find that there might be more contestants from Harare than, say Zvishavane,”
Once shortlisted, the girls will travel to Harare early next month for boot camp ahead of the finale in November.
Gweru will hold its auditions tomorrow at the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority offices followed by Zvishavane on Friday at the Shabanie Mine Club.
