CDF VENTURE has announced MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR, a modelling competition designed to give fresh talent a chance to enter the glamour industry. The event will offer free participation to girls, according to the organisers, and will feature Prince Narula as a judge. The company has also announced Nisha and Priyanka, known for their appearances on MTV shows, as members of the judging panel.
The organisers say the show will focus on young people who want to begin their careers in modelling and entertainment. With online auditions and semifinal rounds planned in several North Indian cities, the competition aims to reach contestants beyond major fashion centres. The company has also announced prizes for winners and free portfolio shoots for finalists.
A Free Modelling Opportunity for Girls
The main feature of MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR is its decision to waive participation fees for girls. Entering the modelling industry can be costly for beginners, who may need to spend money on registration, photographs, grooming, and travel before getting their first assignment.
CDF VENTURE says the new format is intended to reduce this initial barrier. Girls will be able to apply without paying a participation fee, giving those with limited budgets a chance to present their talent.
The organisers describe the format as a first for India. While this claim has not been independently verified, the free-entry model is a key part of the show’s announcement.
For aspiring female models, the competition may provide an opportunity to gain experience, build confidence, and understand how professional modelling events work. Applicants should check the official rules for eligibility, audition dates, and any expenses that may apply to later stages.
Prince Narula to Lead the Announced Judging Panel
Prince Narula has been confirmed as a judge for the event. His experience in reality television makes him a familiar personality for many young people interested in entertainment careers.
Nisha and Priyanka, who have appeared on MTV shows, have also been announced as judges. CDF VENTURE plans to add two Bollywood personalities and three more reality television personalities to the panel.
The organisers expect the panel to bring different experiences from television and entertainment. For contestants, the show will offer a chance to present their confidence, appearance, and stage presence in front of people associated with the industry.
Further details about the full panel and judging process are expected from the organisers.
Online Auditions to Expand the Reach
CDF VENTURE has selected online auditions for the initial stage of the competition. The company says it introduced online auditions for modelling shows in 2017, before the format became common across the sector.
The announced semifinal cities are Delhi, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Dehradun, Dharamshala, and Shimla. The locations are intended to make the competition accessible to candidates from different parts of North India.
Online auditions can help applicants avoid travelling long distances just to submit their first entry. This can be useful for girls from smaller cities who may have limited access to modelling agencies or professional casting networks.
The organisers expect the combination of online auditions and regional semifinal rounds to draw applications from a wide area.
Sunny Verma Explains the Idea Behind the Show
Sunny Verma, owner of CDF VENTURE, said the company wanted to introduce a different approach to modelling competitions.
He said, “Many modelling shows follow similar formats. We wanted to bring something different and give young people a chance to enter the industry without making the first step difficult for them.”
Sunny Verma also spoke about the growing interest in modelling and acting among young people. He believes modelling can help newcomers gain camera experience and visibility before they move towards advertisements, Bollywood movies, OTT projects, television, and reality shows.
According to him, the industry needs platforms that allow freshers to present their talent and learn about the next steps in their careers.
The company says its work with fresh talent over the years has helped it understand the difficulties newcomers face. The free-entry format for girls is part of its plan to make the competition more accessible.
Ayush Sharma Backs the Initiative
Ayush Sharma, managing director of CDF VENTURE, said he was pleased to see the concept take shape. He is also a trained theatre artist and aspiring actor.
Ayush Sharma said the company wanted to create an opportunity for people who have the interest and ability to enter modelling but are still waiting for a suitable platform. He added that supporting young talent was an important consideration in planning the event.
The organisers have announced prizes for winners and proposed celebrity collaborations for top achievers. Finalists will also receive free portfolio shoots, according to the company.
A portfolio helps a model present photographs and different looks when approaching agencies, advertisers, and casting teams. For a beginner, this can be a useful starting point when preparing for future assignments. The exact prizes and collaboration details are yet to be fully announced.
Preeti Singh Highlights the Need for Access
Preeti Singh, a Noida-based makeup artist and head official at CDF VENTURE, has supported the show. She believes that girls from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities need more opportunities to enter the glamour industry.
Preeti Singh said she began her own journey as a contestant with the company. Her experience gave her a direct view of the challenges faced by newcomers who want to build careers in modelling.
She believes a platform with free participation for girls can encourage applicants who may otherwise hesitate because of costs. Her support also reflects the organisers’ aim to reach talent beyond the country’s established fashion centres.
A Different Entry Route for Male Contestants
The competition will include male and female categories, but the organisers have clarified that male models cannot apply directly under the current format. Male applicants can participate through a pairing arrangement with a female contestant.
This condition sets a different entry route for male models. Applicants should check the official guidelines to understand the pairing process and other selection requirements.
CDF VENTURE Builds on Its Previous Events
CDF VENTURE says it has organised modelling shows for freshers and introduced online auditions in 2017. The company has also worked with Prince Narula on previous events, according to the organisers.
With MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR, the company is combining regional auditions with a judging panel drawn from reality television and plans to bring in Bollywood personalities as well.
The success of the event will depend on its final rules, contestant turnout, and the opportunities provided after selection. The organisers’ announced focus remains on giving newcomers a chance to compete and gain exposure.
A New Opportunity for Aspiring Models
MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR is intended for people who want to take their first step into modelling and entertainment. The free participation fee for girls, online auditions, and planned regional semifinals are designed to make the competition accessible to a wider group.
Prince Narula’s confirmed role as a judge adds a recognisable name to the event, while the planned judging additions and finalist benefits may attract further interest.
CDF VENTURE expects the show to draw applications from across North India, particularly from girls who have been waiting for a chance to present their talent. Applicants should follow official announcements for registration details, dates, and eligibility requirements.
