Runway 2008 organised by Mount Productions, will take place at the John Mackintosh Hall Theatre on Friday 18th April.
Runway is aimed at young people between the ages of 14 and 17 interested in fashion, who want to experience both runway and photographic modelling, and the teenagers have an opportunity to learn about photographic skills, presentation, grooming and posture. The photographic sessions seek to develop an awareness of visual impact, the importance of expression and communication in relation to image and product and the ability to relax and be natural in age appropriate ways.
‘The main prize again this year includes a photographic shoot on site in the Algarve in Portugal, which will take place from 2nd to 5th May,’ said Mark Montovio. ‘We always enjoy the experience of shooting in the Algarve and it is a great experience for the winners. Last year’s winners, Giovanni Basiletti and Jerelyn Santos, together with Delina Marin and Kirsty Cornelio who were selected by Phil Smy from Costa Filma will shortly be recording an advert on the dangers of teenage drinking. Meetings and workshops have been held with John Montegriffo, the Drugs Strategy Co-ordinator, to determine the content and style of the short advert promoting a safe attitude to alcohol and drinking.’
Organisers are expecting a good response again this year and the closing date for applications is Sunday 10th February.
