==The contest==
The search is open to beginning models, with the contest's mission stated as being "providing the opportunity for young girls to enter the fashion world, become models and go on to have fabulous careers" and "to discover the new talents who will become the next top models."<ref name=about/>

Contestants between the ages of 14 and 26 years are eligible to compete. Females should meet a minimum height requirement of 1.72 meters, or 5'8". Males should meet a minimum height requirement of 1.88 meters, or 6'2".<ref>{{cite web|title= Now accepting applications to the 2013 elite model look contest|url= http://www.elitemodellook.com/news/emlapplication.html|publisher= Elitemodellook.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title= Contest application|url= http://www.elitemodellook.com/uk/inscription.html|publisher= Elitemodellook.com/uk}}</ref> Until 2014, males were only allowed to participate in national finals, with females competing in the world final.<ref>{{cite web|title= 2014 Finalists|url= http://www.elitemodellook.com/finalists2014/boys.html|publisher= Elite model look}}</ref>

Each country taking part in the contest selects semi-finalists in various cities who compete to become national finalists. The winners of each national contest compete together in the world final. The winners are selected based on their photogenic abilities, personality, natural beauty, and potential to fit into current fashion trends. The world final lasts two weeks, during which the finalists participate in various workshops. These include highlighting natural beauty with make-up and hair professionals, photo shoots, rehearsals for the final show, and individual interviews with members of the jury and Elite's agents.

During the final show fifteen winners are selected by a jury, and are awarded worldwide contracts with [[Elite Model Management]]. The top three contestants are offered contracts with a guaranteed [[remuneration]].
