This year the competition’s chosen charity is Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice in Middlesbrough. Every year finalists are tasked with raising vital funds for charity and this year it is even more important than ever due to the effects Covid has had on the hospice.

During the Grand Final, the finalists will take to the stage in four different catwalk rounds including Personal Style and Evening Wear. As well as the overall titles to be won, the finalists also have the opportunity to win awards such as the Photogenic Award and Top Model of Charity.

North East Next Top Model director, Ailish Shaw, said: “We are super excited about this year’s final and hope to bring a new era of pageantry to the North East.

"Top Model has always been a competition for everyone, you require no previous experience to apply and there are no restrictions on marital status. We love to have a diverse group of women on the catwalk and invite women aged 16-30 from across the North East to apply.”
