* Selection :
The jury of the contest will select a maximum of 26 candidates among all the returned files and will compose the first casting of the edition Miss Avatar World. These 26 candidates will then start the process of election of Miss Avatar World 2010.

* Beginning of the competition :

Outfits are chosen by the models in the collection that they have carried out with their creators (see heading : the model and the choice of these creations). The time of the passage of a candidate is limited to two minutes (materialized by a time line). If the candidate exceeds the authorized minute points of penalties it will then be deducted (see heading notation and jury).
Between the passages, the changes of haircuts and various accessories are authorized. On the other hand, the candidates will not have to change the skin or shape.
For sure, it's highly advised to change the outfits between each turn (to use at the maximum the collection of the selected creator).
With each turn, 2 candidates are eliminated by the jury. At the end of the 4 first turns (4 fashion shows), there will remain 18 candidates.

- The 4 following turns : The principle is exactly the same one as the 4 first turns except that the candidates will carry out 3 passages each of two minutes. The first passage will be done in cocktail/evening dress, the second passage will be done in urban/daily/traditional outfit and the last passage will be done in lingerie.
With each turn, 2 candidates are eliminated by the jury. At the end of the 4 turns (4 fashion shows), there will remain 10 candidates.

The models and the choice of these creations :

Each mannequin will choose to represent one or more creators. Consequently it will offer to him a visibility on an advertising HUD of the event presenting the big steps of the contest.
A mannequin will be able to choose a creator of clothing and a creator of accessories (jewels, shoes...). Consequently the advertisement of the creators will be present on the HUD.

This choice is not mandatory, the models can simply ravel with outfits of their personal collection coming from multiple creators.
However to be constant in the phases of the contest we highly advise to the candidates to choose a creator.

Rules :

1) The candidates engage with being present 30 minutes at least before the beginning of the contest under penalty of direct elimination.
