The modelling scene in South Africa
South Africa has Africa's most established modelling industry, with South African Fashion Week, many agencies in Johannesburg and Cape Town and a large international commercial-shoot market.
Whether you live in Johannesburg or Cape Town, ModelContest gives you a stage that works from your phone: no travel, no fees, and a ranking that shows scouts how people respond to your photos.
How the South Africa model contest works
Every point you earn counts in all your contests at once: Johannesburg (or your own city), South Africa, Africa, the world, and each category you picked. Rounds close every day, week, month and year, so there is always a new title to win.
- Votes — anyone can vote once a day; confirmed members' votes count more.
- Shares — every new person who opens your link on WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook or Instagram earns you points.
- Comments, likes and followers — fans keep your profile alive.
- Cover Battle — your photos face other models head-to-head.
- Daily check-ins and missions — showing up every day pays.
