Our amazing Runway Crew will create an experience like no other. We will provide professional staff to assist in all areas of our event, including our red-carpet registration to ensure a positive experience from day one. During our Red-Carpet Registration, you will have the opportunity to meet our World Models and get their autographs and take photos with them.

Models also have the opportunity to compete in our Model & Talent Competitions and additional Optional Competitions. Models will be featured in our beautiful official event program book with the opportunity to purchase full-page ads, as well. Models can participate in additional opportunities like our Cover Model Competition. Models and guests may shop with designers and Vendors to purchase their designs and products, along with some unique and beautiful items from the official UBU Boutique.

Explore our diverse range of Model Essentials Packages that every model is required to purchase. These packages guarantee that our models are well-equipped to showcase our designers' creations effectively. If a Model Essentials package is not purchased, you will be removed from our Official Model Listing. There is a limited number of model spaces available so be sure to register early.

You may apply to be cast as an official UBU model by submitting the application below.  If you are chosen to model, you will receive an invitation to be officially cast as a model and receive a link to register and purchase your Model Essentials Package. After you have paid for at least half or more of your package, you will receive your official Model Handbook. No payments are accepted until after you've been cast as an Official UBU model.

If you are not walking as a model in a showcase and only participating in the Model or Talent Competition, you do not need to purchase a Model Essentials Package, but you will need to pay to participate in the model or talent competitions.
