Woman of Africa-Model race, created by KATONGOLE WILLIAM VICTOR, and produced by KWILLZ FRATERNITY is the hit reality series that gives everyday people across the African Continent the opportunity to compete for a grand prize which includes a modeling contract with a top agency or management company. Some of the fashion world's most well-known experts will judge these participants, including Model trainer and Pageant director Katongole William Victor, Kiganda Steven, a fashion show producer and backstage manager, Asiimwe James a Rnway Coach, Tyra Becky Atuhairwe a model trainer and consultant, professional fashion designers, photographers, supermodels and manymore.   

P

Producers of the Series will conduct a continental search to find approximately nine to fourteen top contenders who will compete for the coveted grand prize and have the dream of a lifetime come true. Over a period of several weeks, the lucky participants will go through intensive training in the modeling field. They will be trained by some of the top modeling experts in the world...experts who will teach them about fashion, runway skills, physical fitness and publicity. During this entire time, the participants will live under one roof in a house or loft that is equipped with cameras and microphones to record their every move, 24-hours a day, and 7-days a week. Top finalists will proceed to an international destination(Country,state, Island, Kingdom) that will be decided on by the producers, where they will spend 1 to 2 weeks doing several activities in the series, and finally announce the winner from there.

In addition, the participants will be evaluated on a regular basis by an elite panel of judges led by VICTOR WILLIAMZ. These judges, which will include high profile fashion industry gurus will narrow the field week-to-week until one lucky winner will be chosen...a winner who will become WOMAN OF AFRICA

The Producers are looking for a dynamic group of individuals who are articulate, interesting and exhibit enthusiasm for the Series as well as a willingness to share their most private thoughts in an open forum of strangers.

 

Auditions

The African countries shall subject their contestants to country auditions, where each country shall present one representative(Contestant) as a semifinalist who will proceed to Uganda for the boot camp.

IN THE BOOT CAMP

Contestants

Each cycle of the show consists of more than 13 episodes and begins with 13+Final contestants screened from the 100s of applicants.  In each episode one contestant will be eliminated, though in some cases there may be double eliminations, multiple eliminations, or no elimination at all, based on the consensus of the judging panel.Makeovers will be administered to contestants early in the cycle usually after the first or second elimination.

Challenges

Each episode shall begin with the contestants receiving training in an area concurrent with the week's theme. For example, contestants may get coached in runway walking, improvisational acting, and clothing to suit various occasions. A related challenge soon follows, such as a mock (or real) runway show or interview, where one of the models is chosen as the winner.

The winner of the challenge shall receive some prize, such as a contract, a night out, or an advantage at the next photo shoot.

The winning contestant is sometimes permitted to share their reward with other contestants of their choosing and on some occasions, may gain immunity from elimination at the next judging. Losing the challenge can result in some minor punishment, like losing frames for the next photo shoot. It can also end in the immediate elimination of the contestant.

Each episode, which covers the events of roughly one week of real time, will usually be associated with a theme in the world of modeling, such as dealing with the press in interviews, selling a commercial product, appearing in a runway show, or visiting prospective employers in "go sees".

Castings

In some instances, the contestants will go to real-life castings. The model that is chosen will complete what is required for the casting, resulting in a leave of absence within the episode - sometimes skipping the photo shoot and other challenges - but is rewarded with immunity for booking the job.

Photo shoots

The next segment is usually a photo shoot, which shall involve beauty shots (close-up photos emphasizing the face), posing in styled clothing or posing with animals among other themes. Usually one photo shoot per cycle is replaced with a television commercial or music video shoot.

Performance in each week's photo or video shoot weighs heavily in the final judging.

Judging

The final segment of each episode will involve judging by a panel of fashion industry experts.

In addition to the regular judges there will be a special guest judge related to that week's theme. Contestants will sometimes be given a final challenge in some area of modeling such as posing, runway walking, selling a product, or choosing an appropriate outfit or makeup to satisfy a given situation. Each contestant's photo or video performance will then be shown and evaluated by the panel. After all the content has been evaluated, the contestants shall leave the room and the judges deliberate. 

The elimination process follows a rigid format, as the host reveals, one by one and in order of merit, the names of the contestants who have not been eliminated.

 

International destinations

A trip to an international destination shall typically be scheduled at about two-thirds of the way through the competition, usually with five or six contestants remaining. While there, each episode will cover roughly three to four days, totaling two weeks of filming in that area.

Social media voting, scoring and comeback series

There is a provision that enables social media fans to vote for each contestant's performance online based on a scale ranging from 1 (being the worst) to 10 (being the best). Each judge also shall score each picture based on the same scale, with the total fan vote weighing the same as the vote of a judge. Furthermore, one or more eliminated contestants shall receive the opportunity to re-enter the competition if they earn the highest overall score average over a certain period of time.

Each voter is required to cast their votes on the show's website with accounts that link with Face book. Furthermore, there is no limitation on the voting scale, Each Face book account can vote as many times as possible. The contestant with the highest number of votes each round will be granted immunity, while the contestant with the lowest amount will automatically be nominated for elimination along with three other contestants chosen by the judges. A comeback round will also take place about two thirds into the competition.The combined challenge and judge scores are used to determine who will be eliminated each week.
