How it works
Full contest rules →1 · Send your photos online
Three simple photos, no filters, no professional shoot needed. Or walk into any 2026 tour stop. Every application is reviewed by our scouting team.
2 · Meet us in your city
Shortlisted candidates are invited to the nearest tour stop: a walk, digitals, and a conversation with the scouts. Parents are welcome for candidates under 18.
3 · Paris, December 2026
Finalists from every city meet for the European final. Two winners sign a development contract with Meridia and are introduced to partner agencies.
One continent,
drawn in amber
Twelve casting days, Lisbon to Copenhagen, stitched into a single route and finished in Paris in December. Drag the globe: every stop is real, dated, and free to attend.
