Making expenses associated with our event transparent, below is a price list of Model Essentials Packages for you to choose from, as well as a list of our different Mini Super Optional Competitions and guest purchases. We do not have a required fee for you to model, but we do supply Model Essentials Packages for our models, so they have what they need to model with and to ensure our designers that our models are well equipped and ready to make their designs shine. 

All Model Essentials Packages, Mini Optional Competitions, Cover Model Competition, Talent Entries, Model Competition Entry Fee, and Guest Tickets for those attending with you can be purchased in your model account.  Tickets and additional items are also available for guests to purchase a la carte. Guests will pick up their items during Event Registration or at our UBU Information Table once registration closes.

Models and guests are responsible for their own travel and accommodations.
