Meet the Magnificen­t Seven in our Face of 2018 competitio­n.

Earlier this year we teamed up with a group of fashion and beauty experts to launch a filter-free modelling competitio­n.

Dozensofen­trieswerew­hittled down to a final 15 and our judges, Scott Spock Photograph­y, celebrity hairdresse­r NevilleRam­sayandmake-upartist Amanda Bell, met this week to choose their favourites.

The standard proved so high that they struggled to choose one boy and one girl from the photos submitted – so they’ve chosen their favourite seven to meet in person to decide which entrants will take the winning crowns.

Neville Ramsay, who’s styled hair for the likes of Sting and American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, said: “We were really impressed with the standard of the entries, but there were seven entrants we just couldn’t choose between and we’d really like to see them in the flesh. They all look fantastic in their photos and we just couldn’t choose between them so we’ve had to create another stage in the contest.

“Modelling isn’t all about looks, we want someone with a great personalit­y and confidence too, so we need to meet them in person.”

The final seven as selected by the judges are Ellie Nash, Natasha Christophe­r, Nadia Watson, Rachel Crago, Evan Longford, Jude Lawless and Ethan Temple and we’ll be contacting the finalists in the coming days to arrange a time for them to get together and meet the judges.

The winning boy and girl will receive a photo shoot with Scott Spock Photograph­y, which will appear in the Sunderland Echo, with styling for the shoot from Neville and Amanda; six months of hair styling complete with Milkshake hair products; a make-up session with Amanda at her studio in Norton, in Cleveland, and a consultati­on, with the potential for a contract, at Savalas Models.

Neville said: “There’s people with a lot of potential in this area but sometimes they just don’t get the opportunit­ies up here. This competitio­n is a great way to take a potential modelling career to the next level.”
