The nation’ station, Radio Turks and Caicos (RTC) – once again partners with the TCI Top Model Contest and Fashion Extravaganza – providing an online voters poll.
The poll, which starts today – is available on http://www.rtc107fm.com. The site www.rtc107fm.com, allows visitors to cast a vote for their favorite 2012 TCI Top Model contestant. In real time, each visitor will see how many votes that that contestant has received, along with her percentage points. What is more, the contestant will receive the RTC Viewers Choice Award and a gift certificate.
Chris Jarrett, RTC Director said that: “We continually see some of the hottest models coming out of the Caribbean, US & Europe – strutting down the runways of the most prolific designers, being represented by some of the biggest agencies, and we in the Turks and Caicos should not be left behind. Being a model is not just an ambassador for yourself, but for your country, and so in these times while we have an ambassador on the track we need one on the catwalk, to some of the world’s largest shows.”
Mr Jarrett went on to say he that sees: “The TCI Top Model is presenting young talented ladies a grand opportunity to shine, and our aim is to help foster that talent from here to the rest of the worlds stage and eventually screen.”
TCI Top Model Contest’s Executive Producer, Courtney Robinson said: “Each year the RTC team come up with great ideas on how to showcase the contestants along with giving them an opportunity to not only be heard, but also seen. Countries the world over promotes every aspect of their destination, and we in the TCI should do the same – as fashion and beauty speaks the same language in Paris, New York and the Caribbean. And we are honoured that RTC will continue to play its part in the promotion and development of local talent in the Turks & Caicos, by sharing the ladies not only with the TCI, but the world too.”
The RTC viewers’ poll will not form part of the scores going towards choosing the 2012 TCI Top Model Contest winner. For the competition itself, the contestants are being judged on eight categories, with the highest score attainable being ten (10) points.

These eight categories will go towards naming the Turks and Caicos their 2012 TCI Top Model winner.
