Extract from YOTM website

The 2010 Grand Finale has come and gone. The event was as always action packed filled with intrigue, tears, frustrations, confusion and lots of laughs. Memories not easily forgotten.

Unforgettable moments – the beautiful venue Diep in die Berg (Anton and Henk thumbs up), the superb service (special thanks to Jesse and Sipho), the mouth-watering and affordable food (well done to David and his crew), the advices and  fantastic feed-back from our attending Cape Town based model development Agency Fanjam (special thanks to Fanie and James), the two high quality fashion shows, the huge effort put in by the inspiring Kevin Ellis, the attention to detail by the show stylist Gareth Greaves,  the announcement of our winners and the cherry on the cake the awarding of the several international contracts worth  US $70 000 to Vinette Schultz, Chanelle Soncini and Belinde Schreuder.

Forgettable moments – not many accept the long queues at times.

Special thanks to our sponsors (Race Models, Liam, Fanie, James, Kuna, NMC, Diep in die Berg), our professional chief judge and compere Kevin Charlwood, Joleen for taking care of the judging panels, Fanjam, the superb efforts of our two choreographers Kevin and Yolandi (big cheers to their crews and the designers involved), the relentless efforts behind the scenes work done by our photographers (Dom and his crew), make-up artists (The Make-Up issue), stylists (Gareth) and modelling school principals (Stacey, Annelie and Yolandi) for helping at the event. Thanks also to some of our past contract winner (Catherine) and her parents, Minnie, thanks for the doing an exceptional job done in handling the admin, ticket sales, enquiries and complaints. The production crew (Kevin and his helpers) for making the shows happen. Seth for the video production. A big shout out goes to all the parents and models for supporting and making 2010 a huge success. A big big applause to Joani (Ace Models), Anne (I Models), Gail and Tillie (Sophisticate Models) and Bianca (Mould Models) for putting in the huge effort in making YOTM a reality for your models. To all those forgotten who slaved away thank you.

Most of all thanks to our FATHER for his grace in giving us all the talents to do what we are able to do and for blessing us with the opportunity to live our dreams.

With this said its back to the drawing board – 2011 awaits us !!!!!
