How to Become a "JET" Beauty of the Week
- 1). Find a photographer to take a variety of vertical digital photographs, preferably with a plain background. While Beauty of the Week hopefuls only need to submit five pictures, take numerous photos and select the best of the bunch. Two photographs must be in a two-piece bathing suit, two must be in casual and after-five wear and one must be a head shot, including the shoulders. Ensure that the pictures are high-quality, at least 300 dpi, and publication ready. All pictures must tastefully showcase the model's beauty or they will not receive consideration for print. No snap shots are accepted.
- 2). Write a statement explaining why you want to be "JET's" Beauty of the Week. Make your responses concise, typically 50 words or less, but also bold and unique enough stand out from other submissions.
- 3). Visit the "JET" website and select the link to "JET Beauty." Follow the instructions on the submission page to upload your photos and submit your statement. Complete the entire submission form or your entry may be deemed incomplete and discarded. Include your full name, address, email and phone number as well as the photographer's name and contact information. Include your hometown, hobbies and occupation.
- 4). Read the terms of use clause, as stipulated by the Johnson Publishing Company, Inc. Also read the "Release and Consent for Publication" form. If you agree to the terms, submit your application.
- 5). Play the waiting game. Due to the convenience of an online application, "JET Magazine" receives a high volume of applications. It takes time for the committee of reviewers to wade through the thousands of applications it receives. As a weekly publication, "JET" chooses 52 Beauty of the Week winners. If you submit great photographs and a winning statement, the odds may work in your favor.
