Before anyone signs up for this, they should probably read the terms and conditions involved.
http://www.moblog.com.sg/gridgirls/termCon.asp

Term 13 essentially means all photos and videos of the contestants can be used freely and no payment is involved.

Term 27 means you cannot be on tv programmes during the duration of the competition, in worldwide.

Term 32 means you must attend up to 10 roadshows. Note this is a contest so there is no pay for 10 roadshows.

Seems not very beneficial to the contestants?

Perhaps we should also highlight that they are also required to attend an unspecified number of briefings, publicity sessions, recording sessions (Term 30) and photoshoots besides training, rehearsals, hair and grooming sessions (term 31) and other events (?) i.e. they are to be at the organisers beck and call all the time.:eek: Quite obviously, they wouldn't be paid for these either.

Also, note Term 32. "The contestant shall at all times comply strictly with the Organisers specifications/requirements (whether oral or written) as to the contestants appearance, physical characteristics, skills, attire and/or accessories. A failure to meet such specifications/requirements shall result in disqualification from the Contest".

One would have expected Singtel to promote the local modeling industry by hiring those Professional Local models to be the Grid girls.

Example:

* Maggie Tan from Phantom
* Sheila Tay from Carries
* Swyn Teo from T models
* Peggy Chang from Upfront
* Jolin, Andrea Teo from Looque
* Victoria Gallistan from Perspectives

The F1 is actually the correct platform to promote and benefit our local modeling industry.

Its huge elsewhere in the world and generate at least 250K in income for the models and agencies.

However, many models who are contracted cannot join this contest. Maybe they will need to pay for the pro models to enter the contest/programme if they want tall and really hot hot and pretty gals/models to grace the F1 event.

Let's hope and give the support to Mediacorp, Singtel and the girls. Its our pet national project la:cheer:
