Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 3 is launching October 07, 2007 and the search for the Next Top Model begins! We are looking for ten (10) new applicants, if you think you have what it takes to be Tyria's Next Top Model than send in an application!

By applying, you understand that...

1. You must follow the rules and guidelines that the TNTM competition hold as well as those of the GWGuru forum and in not doing so will and can cost your position in the competition depending on the severity of the offense.

2. All times noted are in PST unless otherwise specified.

3. It is your duty to find any and all information that you need to be successful in the competition; we will help you as much as we can, but we cannot help you if you do not ask!

4. Having any circumstances and or problems that will prevent you from completing any assignment does not excuse you from that week of competition, while it is unfortunate, it is not fair to the other contestants to give favorable treatment to any single contestant.

5. All assignments are handled through the English language and that we cannot accommodate for any other language. We will accept any language and will try to help you through the competition as much as we can, but you will be at a definite disadvantage.

6. You are willing and able to devote time to the competition within it's entire run during October 2007 ~ January 2008 under your normal schedule.

7. The competition is a fan created project for fans by fans of the "Next Top Model" franchise and is in no way tied to the official television series or Arena Net.

To apply, fill out the information below and send it to [email protected] (Notice the Underscore between TNTM and Representative)with the subject line as:
TNTM3 APPLICATION <Insert Your Applying Character Name>

I will send an "Application Received Notice" to every application that I've gotten, if you have not gotten a receive notice, than please send your application again.

You may also send a private message through GWGuru Forums as well.

APPLICATION:

1. Name of Character applying and primary profession.

2. Your Time Zone and Game District you play in.

3. Have you kept up with either TNTM Cycle 1, TNTM Cycle 2, PreSearing Top Model, TMW 1, TNTS 1, or any other screenshot type competition? If so, what contestant(s) have you liked from either competition and why?

4. Have you kept up with any of the Next Top Model television series (i.e. America's Next Top Model, Canada's Next Top Model, Britain's Next Top Model, Australia's Next Top Model, etc.)? If so, what contestant(s) have you liked from either competition and why?

5. Why do you want to participate in Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 3?

6. Send in three pictures based from ANY previous TNTM Cycles' Assignments and be sure to label each, do not exactly copy the pictures but execute them to your own accord. (i.e. Ciao Bello!, Models Gone Wild, Rally The Gods!, Caldendar - Month, Seven Deadly Sins, Land Of Heroes, etc.)

You may also repeat questions 1 and 6 for a secondary character if you are willing to substitute between your original choice.

Based of the application, top candidates will be chosen to complete the rest of the application which will consist of a single randomly chosen question to see how you will answer a particular question without time to prepare your answer.

Application Deadline is September 30, 2007, the final ten that will preceed into the competition will be announced on October 6, 2007.

Any other questions and or comments? Please do not hesitate to contact me through email or PM!

FAQ

1. Why the long wait for TNTM Cycle 3?
- The time off was much needed! Spitting out Cycle after Cycle can get overwhelming, with more and more screenshot competitions popping up, more and more people can experience the fun of such a great competition without needing to wait for the next TNTM!

2. Why is there only ten contestants this Cycle?
- Christmas is the busiest time of the year for work, and with finals and the holidays, time will be hectic, reducing the numbers will ease the competition's run and duration.

3. What happened to TNTM Survival Of The Fiercest?
- The TNTM All-Stars concept will be done in place of TNTM Cycle 4 which will be held sometime early 2008. TNTM Survival Of The Fiercest will feature an All-Star cast with previous contestants from TNTM Cycles 1-3. This will also mark the last TNTM contest that will be held by us.

4. Is Tyria's Next Top Model over?
- Not at all! I hope not! Although TNTM Survival Of The Fiercest will be our last, someone will be assigned of taking over after I bow out as host and pass the torch to the next potential host of TNTM.

5. Why will TNTM Survival Of The Fiercest the last you will do?
- I am officially transferring to a University in fall 2008 and will have next to no time to host such an extensive competition! I absolutely care about my competition and will assign someone dedicated to be its new caretaker!

6. Who will take over TNTM?
- I'm hoping, that the possible candidates will join me on panel as judges during TNTM Survival Of The Fiercest, this will give me a chance to see how active and determined they are as well as get an insight on how they evaluate. Since TNTM Survival Of The Fiercest will be done in a sort of "Survivor" (the television reality show) style, the contestants will vote out each other instead of the judges, so it will be an intern type situation for the new side judges. Of course this is not guaranteed if candidates refuse the offer.

It would be nice if applicant had access to the TNTM1 Thread. I think by now it's been removed. I searched the forums for it, no luck finding it. I only found TNTM2 because slayer hasn't updated the "popular threads" post in a long time.

To make it easier to find TNTM2 thread, click Here.

Quick question, with the pics from previous contests, do we have to answer the attendant questions?

xxSilhouette · Sep 17, 2007, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Oh I really love the picture Nilene!

CasterOfShame27 · Sep 18, 2007, 12:02 AM // 00:02

I have a question. I used text in my pictures, and I cropped them of course. Would you like the uncropped or Un-Texted pictures also?

Absolutely not! If you already have sent in answers for the questions, that's fine, but it wont help/hurt you.

Just the cropped versions will be acceptable!

Also, we will start picking out the top applicants on September 28, 2007, so don't stress if you haven't heard from us from at least that day!

Feel free to ask if anyone else have any other questions!

Good luck!

A Short Story:

So I saw TNTM Cycle three and went, "Hmm...I saw Cycle One and thought it would be somewhat lacking on execution. Maybe there was something to it." I went back and read the entire Cycle One thread and saw that it, in fact, wasn't lacking on execution and it was enjoyable to read. I would read Cycle Two if I had the time, but alas, this University thing is kinda important.

I was considering entering cycle three, but I decided that I'd leave it to people who obviously are a lot more motivated and want to win more than I do, and that I'll content myself with enjoying the products of contestants that I'm sure are going to be wonderful.

Anyway, the point of this post is to say all the people who work on and with TMNT do a wonderful job with it and I think it's awesome that the Guild Wars community could support something like this - I couldn't read the first thread and not offer my congratulations on a job well done. Very much looking forward to Cycle Three.

So true.......

Morag D · Sep 24, 2007, 06:07 AM // 06:07

ah, well, I'd really like to participate, but with TNS going on plus moving to the UK next saturday and everything, I don't think I'll have enough time... meh.

Perynne · Sep 24, 2007, 07:50 AM // 07:50

I'm really thinking about entering again too, but I'm just not sure how I'll have time to handle two competitions. Still, I have so many pretty characters I'd love to see modeling... :3 Rawr... a few more days left to decide.

Good luck to everyone who gets in!

Daenara · Sep 24, 2007, 08:13 AM // 08:13

I would so love to enter again.. I had an absolute blast last cycle... But am I allowed?

(If anyone is considering this, and unsure, I can't recommend it enough! Lady Nilene has an incredible competition, the original and best :P )
