The Runway modeling show is gradually gathering momentum in the African continent. Despite the seemingly challenges of lack of interest by many parents and their wards, the modeling show is gradually picking up. Recently, a very wonderful runway modeling program has been launched in Africa. It is known as the “African Runway”.

The African Runway is a fashion modeling show that brings Africa models and designers together from the various countries of Africa. It is a model and new talent designer contest being organized regularly oftentimes as an annual event. This year 2009, the current African Runway contest is to take place in South Africa. There are various awards being contested in the African Runway show. These include:

The African Runway Super Model

The winner of this title gets a top modeling contract worth $10,000 with ISIS Models a leading runway modeling firm located in South Africa.

The second runner up of the same title also gets a modeling contract worth $5000 with the same ISIS Models in South Africa.

The African Runway New Designer

The winner of this title gets admission into top fashion design school located at Lisof, South Africa with a one month internship with Top International Designer worth $10,000.

The second runner up gets a scholarship to the Enterprise Development Service of the Lagos Business School (LBS) in Nigeria.

From the facts listed above, it is very clear that the African continent is gradually waking up from their slumber as it regards runway modeling. With such encouragement for the winners of the different titles, other elegant young ladies can now begin considering runway modeling as a good career option. Such boosters will go along way to igniting the fire to model in the lives of the African youths.
