They had an open casting call in Vancouver Wa. and my daughter got an invitation to attend. IT is pretty expensive about $3800 just to attend the convention for 3 nights not including air or food.
It sounds like a racket to me does anyone know about this company?
Yikes! Save your money, take some snapshots of your dd, research cover letters on this board, send pictures and a cover letter with postage. That's the best way to start. Also read, read, read, read. I can't express this enough, do your research! You will find out so much information and like the saying goes; knowledge is power!
Good luck!

ooooh anything thats that expensive is probably just a ploy to get as many people to go and pay as possible..
here's my little anecdote: when i was 16, i made my mom take me to Model Search America (ha! i look back and laugh..) and got past the first open call, invited to attend the weekend seminar in DC. Now, I mayyybe could have been a print model, but other than that, at 5'2" theres NO reason i should have ever been involved in a model search! (but i didnt know any better.)
There were hundreds of people there, and many who were in the same boat as me. obviously not the model type. after paying a ton of money for the "seminars" and being seen by all of the agents/managers there, probably only 15 people got "called back" for interviews, out of the hundreds. it was obviously a scam..
i dont think any of those things are legit.. but i learned my lesson!!
