SPA Models is a program affiliated with Senior Portrait Artists (SPA) which is an organization created to inspire and educate photographers of high school seniors. Dana Gookin Photography is an exclusive member of this prestigious organization.

Twice a year SPA has a contest for high school seniors to win the top model spots with an all expense paid trip to their SPA Events. There will be a total of 30 winners chosen including one People's Choice contest winner.

The SPA Models program is designed to generate an amazing group of models for the SPA Fashion Show and photo shoots at the SPA Events each year. SPA is looking for high school senior models who are easy to photograph, fun to work with, and are representative of actual high school seniors.

Each entering senior receives:

• 10 Model Comp Cards
• Listing on the National SPA Models website
• Listing on the Official SPA Models Facebook website
• Eligibility to be a National SPA Model

The SPA Model winners will receive an all expense paid trip to SPA Event at an exlusive resort location. He or she will participate in model photo shoots for many of the top senior portrait photographers and will hit the runway in the National SPA Fashion Show Lights Camera Fashion highlighting the latest styles and fashion trends for high school seniors.

The winners will have the opportunity to meet with a top modeling agent, and receive a modeling portfolio from the images taken at the amazing locations at the SPA Event.

You don't have to be the perfect fashion model. Winners are chosen for their unique looks, personalities and variety of heights and sizes, but most of all, it is about how photogenic you can be!

You'll make new friends from all over the U.S. and Canada. You'll have fittings for outfits to wear in all the fashion events. Talented hair and make-up artists will help you look fabulous for the fashion shoots and fashion show. You'll learn modeling tips and how to walk the runway to show it off!

This is truly a very fun once in a lifetime experience!
