Photographer Clare-Louise, who has a studio in Coventry Street, is running a contest to find some new 'faces' in conjunction with the children's club at St Mary's School.

She is looking for teenagers aged between 13 and 18 who would be able to model clothes in a fashion show later this year. Club organiser Kim Bendzak said: "We have run children's fashion shows at the school before and they were really well attended.

"We had a call to do adult fashion and as Clare-Louise is currently on the look-out for more photographic models we thought we could combine the two.

"She will be able to do her talent scouting and we will get models for a show."

The fashion show will be on November 15 and application forms for those wishing to take part will be available in September.

Mrs Bendzak added: "We will be looking to receive applications from youngsters who think they have a strong photographic look for fashion photography.

"No previous modelling experience is necessary and the clothes are adult sizes so would ideally suit tall teenagers."

A panel of judges will draw up a shortlist of 20 from the entries and pick ten to take part in the show.A winner will be chosen on the night and have the opportunity to work with Clare-Louise on photo shoots.

Clothes worn during the event will be sold afterwards and a percentage of the sales will go to the club to help buy new play equipment.

The club is a not-for-profit organisation managed by school parents who pay qualified staff to run it. Organisers are currently looking for a new deputy. Applicants will need an NVQ 2 or 3 in childcare and be able to work 20 hours a week.

Anyone interested should call 07921 359507.
