Madonna and daughter Lola commented, “This is not your standard model search. It’s more about attitude. We are looking for a stylish, adventurous, creative, free spirit. We’re both looking forward to meeting the ten finalists in New York in December.”
“There is a material girl inside of every girl. She is brave and confident in herself and what she aspires to be,” commented Kelly Osbourne.
Material Girl contestants should bring a photograph of themselves and be prepared to tell the Material Girl judging panel why they should be the next Material Girl.
Contestants can also upload their photograph to www.materialgirlcollection.com and explain in 100 words or less why they should be selected as one of Material Girl’s “Lucky Stars.”
