On Friday, will be the exclusive Meet & Greet party, and also the buyer's presentation that evening. At the Red Party the models will introduce themselves and do a mini fashion show, this way the agents in attendance will receive a taste of what's to come at the competition on Saturday. At the Buyer's presentation local boutiques will receive a chance to be apart of it. They will be showcasing their fashions. The idea of this is for the local boutiques and the designers to see how they can work together. The local boutiques will showcase their pieces in hopes of the designers getting some of their pieces into their stores. The Red party will introduce the contestants to the judges before the competition on Saturday. In attendance and also performing live that evening will be singer Gyasi Clarke.

Finally on the day of the competition, the models begin with a one on one the morning of the competition. This is the opportunity for them to shine and be themselves, it's actually the most important part of the competition. The agents need to get a feel of who they are, to know about them, and most importantly to see how well they handle themselves during a casting. At the end, if they end up being signed, they will have to go on casting calls etc to book jobs. The evening of the show, will begin at 4pm with the Styling Beauty Expo. This year it has been downsized to just 4 local vendors who will be selling their products. The show begins at 6p.m. sharp, with the competition being the first half of the show. The second half of the show will be for the Style Week Designers. The show will conclude with the Awards presentation. Although we're currently in the middle of a pandemic, it's by the grace of God that JG Management was able to pull of the 8th Annual VI Model of the Year Competition. The venue, designers and agents were cutback, but besides that its still business as usual and will still be quality. There are 3 divisions, the Child Division which consists of 5 models, and the Commercial Model & Fashion Model Division which consists of 2 models each. Reggae artist Tia will be in attendance and performing live.

The Models have been working extremely hard, this is a process that began from last November, because the audition begins at that time. Then it's followed by the orientation in December and the workshops in January. As part of the prize for winning the competition, they'll be travelling to New York. In terms of the good feedback and possible representation offers the agent being interested and wanted to sign the models. The VI Model of the Year Competition will be held April 10, 2021 at Le Jolie Events & Rentals 6p.m sharp. The week concludes with the All White Style Brunch, which will be a first for JG. The main show was always on a Sunday but with cutbacks that were made, and the pandemic, the show and the expo are now being held on Saturday. Therefore Sunday became free thus creating the White Style Brunch.
