Open Call
The Open Call
experience.
An artistic experience in the world of modeling. Pose, walk, express yourself: explore the language of image-making and enjoy being in front of the camera as part of the international Open Call competition.
Our vision
A competition.
An experience to enjoy.
Open Call brings together an international modeling competition and an artistic experience exploring photography, movement and self-presentation.
Open to beginners and those with previous experience alike, the competition welcomes different profiles, personalities and forms of expression.
For the duration of a session, explore different poses, take part in a studio shoot and experiment with movement and expression on camera. A moment to discover, take part and enjoy the experience.
The photographs, videos and information collected also allow the team and jury to review each profile within the competition, in accordance with its rules.
The team and jury
Every profile counts.
The team guides the session. Agents, the jury and associated professionals contribute to reviewing profiles as set out in the competition rules.
Every participant’s profile is reviewed. Photographs, videos, measurements and presentation help the team appreciate presence, personality and potential across the competition categories, rather than a single standard.
Every profile reviewedAn overall assessment
This assessment is not an undertaking to represent a participant. Participation does not guarantee selection, a contract or professional work. The prizes expressly set out in the competition rules remain applicable.
The session, step by step.
Photography, movement and expression on camera: a series of artistic exercises that also provide the material used to review profiles within the competition.
Measurements
Your measurements are recorded to complete your profile, prepare your comp card and support the competition assessment.
Photography
Pola-style photographs and a studio shoot let you explore posing and expression in front of the camera. The images also contribute to the competition assessment.
Video & interview
A filmed presentation or short interview to express yourself on camera and share your voice, energy and spontaneity.
Walk
A filmed walk to explore posture, rhythm and movement. It also forms part of the profile assessment.
Conversation
Instructions accompany the exercises. Any general comments on posture or presentation are incidental and free of charge, not a paid consultation on access to modeling.
Included in your participation
Your profile.
In four images.
Your participation includes a digital comp card featuring four pola-style photographs selected by Open Call and your measurements.
A considered layout brings your images and profile information together in one document. The four photographs are integrated directly into the card.

View delivery termsWhat we look for
Potential before convention.
Modeling is not only about measurements or aesthetic criteria. A profile can stand out through uniqueness, presence, the ability to capture attention or simply something difficult to define but immediately noticeable.
Uniqueness
A face, an appearance, a personality or a detail that gives the profile a strong identity.
Presence
The way someone occupies the space, looks into the camera and communicates something without overdoing it.
Adaptability
The ability to take direction, understand instructions and remain natural in different situations.
Potential
The sensitivity and possibilities for expression that may emerge through the exercises, considered within the competition categories.
The experience
Explore.
Try. Express.
Step in front of the camera, try different attitudes, explore movement and speak on film. Open Call invites you to take part in these practices through an artistic experience and a competition.
Whether you come out of curiosity, for the pleasure of the experience or to discover the world of modeling, the session offers a chance to explore its visual language and express your personality.
An experience, not a career promise. The session is neither vocational training nor a placement or representation service. Participation does not guarantee selection, a contract or professional work. The assessment process, selection procedures and prizes are set out in the competition rules.
