Potential “Vote to Win” sweepstakes entrants are encouraged to visit the “Vote to Win” tab on The Great Model Search® website in order to be informed on prizes and qualifications. Judging will take place on the following timetable:
- Consumer Voting Phase-February 1 – April 15, 2010. During this phase legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia will be invited to vote for the contestant of their choice. Consumer judging will be premised on photogenic quality; beautiful hair; audience resonance; sense of style and the like. A consumer may only vote once per 24-hour period.
- Semi-Finalist Judging Phase-April 15 - April 30, 2010.

A qualifying Semi-finalist will be requested to return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Release (the “Affidavit”) (except where prohibited by law), which among other matters will authorize the background investigation and release any claims arising from the investigation. Any individual who fails the background investigation at Johnson Product’s sole discretion or fails to timely submit the Affidavit will be replaced by the next highest scoring Submission and the process of qualifying as a Semi-Finalist will be repeated until the 48 Semi-Finalists are selected.
- Finalist Stage April 30 - May 15, 2010. During this phase, a panel of qualified judges selected by Johnson Products, at its sole discretion, will select 8 finalists from the 16 semi-finalists, using the same criteria as used in the Consumer and Semi-Finalist phases. These eight (8) finalists will be selected to receive an all-expense paid trip to attend the official The Great Model Search® Finale Event, the date, place and location of which will be provided at time of selection.
