The MODEL search

The 2010, Gleaner-sponsored, Pulse Caribbean Model Search is now on. This year's search will feature more than the usual new model hopefuls, adding major celebrities, international supermodels and superstar performers, headlined by R&B recording star Shontelle.

New faces will compete in four categories for the titles - Jamaica Fashion Model, Petite Jamaica Fashion Model, Male Face of Jamaica and Full-Figured Fashion Model at the finals, which will be held on Sunday, September 5 at the Wyndham Kingston Hotel. Today, Samantha Redway.
