Welcome to the Auto Salon National Model Search Contest. We’d like to extend an invitation for you to partake in this year’s competition held in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch. Over $12 000 in total cash and prizes are up for grabs as we look for the new face of Auto Salon across Australia and New Zealand.

The Auto Salon Model Search Contest is a national competition held across Australia and New Zealand with the aim to discover, promote and encourage the future modeling talents and careers of girls across both countries. Past winners of the model search contest have been featured in various publications such as Autosalon Magazine, Ralph magazine, Inside Sport magazine, FHM magazine, and Sports illustrated magazine. The winners have also participated in numerous advertising campaigns and have appeared in national television programs.

Auto Salon is always looking for fresh and exciting new faces. We look to discover, feature and develop talent as well as expand modeling careers above and beyond the Auto Salon show series. If you’re looking for experience, exposure, and an exciting opportunity in the modeling arena, with a possibility to travel and co-host our major events then the Auto Salon Model Search is the ultimate opportunity to showcase your talent and enthusiasm.

Who knows? You could be the Next Face of the Auto Salon Brand.
