COMPETITION ALTERATION

I never expected I would be writing a post such as this, but due to disappointing circumstances, the format of this competition is about to change. Five of the eight competitors have sadly dropped out of the competition, meaning we only have three designers left. Continuing the competition in it's originally planned format would mean it would be over in 2 weeks, practically washing all of the incredibly task ideas I had down the drain and robbing those who are left of the true opportunity of competing.

I do not want this competition to end so soon, as I believe all three of the remaining competitors show incredible potential and would benefit massively from the learning experience TGP offers.

So here's what's going to happen;

I've decided to scrap the elimination process altogether. What this means is, the remaining competitors will all participate in another 5 tasks, will be judged after each one, and scored in secret. "TOP PHOTO" will remain, but there will be no other scoring or ranking of results. This gives our three remaining designers the chance to still showcase their talent, and not have their experience cut short due to dropouts. The winner will NOT be determined by any previous scoring, or by the amount of "TOP PHOTO's" they receive, but rather based on the growth they have shown throughout the competition and the ability they have shown to be a great designer.

After the five tasks, there will be a grand finale held on our Facebook page, where we will be hosting a red carpet event, as well as announcing the winner. This event will be held on Thursday July 7th, and everyone is invited! As mentioned, there will be a red carpet event, which means you can create a look and send it in to be featured on the carpet. Please send your looks to Lisa Young or Nimka Dahlgreen on Facebook, you have until Wednesday July 6th to submit your look.

If any competitors have any questions about the change, please feel free to message me (Lisa Young) on Facebook (link above)

Thank you, and here's to change!
