CLE 2K17 Prom Expo2 Featuring The Darlafoxx Project runway Challenge======Just want to have fun and be part of a runway model challenge? Well, this is your opportunity to model gowns from top designers from around the world and to bring your own personality to the runway. We believe that the runway builds confidence and strengthens self-esteem. Come and showcase your runway skills at the The Darlafoxx Project Runway Challenge and have a good time, make new friends and rock the runway. This event is taking place in the beautiful Global Center Ballroom & Atrium at the Huntington Convention Center of CLE & Global Center for Health Innovations, 1 St. Clair Avenue NE- Downtown CLE. This challenge is for ages 5-29 and contestants must be the required age for their age division for the year. If they will be turning an age older than the division during that year, they must compete in the next age division. Contestants will have access to rehearsal space with runway training from an expert choreographer/ runway coaches and guest speakers at no cost before the challenge on scheduled Sundays and depending on what age group will determine rehearsal time (see below). The first round challenge for all age groups is to model a gown fitted from Darlafoxx...where we do formal different and where the experience exceeds expectations. These gowns are on a “borrow-only” basis-there is no fee. These gowns will be your source of inspiration. You will be fitted (by appointment only) in order of registration; all fittings will be done in the month of February 2017. If contestant qualifies to move onto the Wild Card Scene-that scene is strictly styled by the contestant keeping in mind to be respectful. All contestants are to provide their own music for each scene. This is a challenge for the contestant’s MUA (makeup artist) and/or hair stylist. If you win, your MUA and/or hair stylist will win a prize as well; so represent your stylists. You can use your own stylists who will sponsor you or we can provide them for you. The registration fee for this challenge is $25 and the deadline for registration is February 24th, 2017, or until we have reached maximum capacity for each group. Contestants will receive a custom Darlafoxx t-shirt with other goodies the day of the challenge.
