Safety guide for models

Modelling should be exciting, not risky. These rules protect you.

Never pay to model

Real castings and agencies do not charge registration, portfolio, placement or “processing” fees. ModelContest never asks contestants for money.

Check who you're dealing with

Look for a real company, a website, a studio address and models who have actually worked with them. Search their name with the word “scam”. Prefer castings with the verified tick.

Meet safely

Meet at a real studio or in public, tell someone where you are, bring a friend, and leave if anything feels wrong. You never have to undress for a casting that didn't say so in advance and in writing.

Protect your photos and location

We remove hidden location data (GPS) from every photo you upload. Don't post your home address, school or daily routine in your bio.

Report anything strange

Use the Report button on any profile, comment or casting, or email palmies@pm.me. We act within 24 hours.
