Tieghan qualifies for ITMA convention
AN aspiring young model, Tieghan Ann Griffin-Coetzer. Is the youngest contestant to qualify for the International Modelling and Talent Association (IMTA) Convention in New York.
ALBERTON: The ITMA convention gives aspiring models, actresses, singers and dancers the opportunity to be seen by casting agents. The convention runs for a week, and those invited have the opportunity to compete on runways and stages. Both in live and recorded competitions. They also attend workshops offered by industry experts.
Tieghan participated in The National Intern Finals for Figures Models S.A. that took place on May 17. The first three places of Figures models are sponsored to go to New York. Tieghan missed her sponsorship by two points. She came fourth at the events, which means she has an invite. She just needs sponsors to help her get to New York and realise her dreams.
Not only is Tieghen the youngest contestant to qualify she has won an assortment of competitions and events within the last six months as an Intern at Figures Models. She has also become involved in charity. She has taken part in a charity drives where she has collected: dog and cat food, blankets, clothes, teddy bears and books for charities in and around Alberton.
‘It has been an incredible journey and I have watched my child become a confident loving young lady. She really is excited to be in the running for the IMTA Convention. It is a tremendous honour to be chosen to go and it says a lot about her future potential as a model to be chosen as the youngest contestant.” Emma Griffen-Coetzer commented on her daughter’s journey thus far.
