Searching for the face of JD 2014

Article | 30 Jan 2014

The search for the Face of JD is back in 2014 and it’s bigger than ever. On the lookout for real people with individual style and talent, JD aren’t interested in supermodels, so if you think you’ve got what it takes then this is your big chance to get online, get chosen and get seen.

With the last Face of JD search seeing a 50% increase in entrants and a weekend long international Twitter Trending Topic to boot, this year’s event had to be even bigger! Adding Glasgow, Birmingham and Liverpool castings to the London and Manchester events, JD have extended their search for models to appear in advertising campaigns that will see winners feature on posters, billboards, bus sides and in magazines.

The JD Buzz Teams will be hitting the road next week with ‘Face of JD’ talent scouts and film crews – meaning they could be visiting a college, shopping centre or high street near you! For details on which areas they’ll be in each day check out JD’s official Facebook & Twitter pages.

Entering is easy – simply download the JD app, visit www.faceofjd.com or www.facebook.com/JDSportsOfficial and upload a recent photo of yourself with an explanation of what you’re into and what you’re most passionate about. Once you have applied, get all of your friends and family to vote for you online. The top 20 most-voted-for entries per region will automatically go through to one of the castings.

JD’s judging panel of experts will be making their way through all the entries to select a further 100 people per city to attend casting events at secret locations in Glasgow on February 2, Liverpool on February 8, Manchester on February 9, Birmingham on February 15 or London on February 16.

The people invited to the exclusive JD castings will have their photos taken by professional photographers and be filmed by the JD TV crew. Everybody invited to a casting will also receive a JD goody bag packed full of freebies!

Once the castings are over, the judges will select winners from each day, who will then be used in official JD photo shoots where a leading fashion photographer will photograph them wearing the latest JD gear. The best images from that shoot will then appear nationwide in JD’s next advertising campaign!
