International Modeling and Talent
Association (IMTA)
To Whom It May Concern:
The IMTA set-up makes OTG and MSA look
like bargains. You can only attend an IMTA convention
(LA or New York) by first going through a modeling school.
So the modeling schools have already gotten some money
out of you. Then you shell out the big bucks to go to
an IMTA convention/contest.
If you do well there, then you can shell out even more
money to go to the international contest. And after all
of that, you still have never gone into a modeling agency
to see if you can get any work.
I think it is more like the beauty pageant system only
without any of the prize money or scholarships.
I have never been able to understand why someone would
fork out $4,000 and all of the expense of going to New
York, and then not go around to the modeling agencies
open calls, but the folks who do this convention do just
that.
If one has the talent, they are better off to take the
money and stay in New York for month, call on all of
the modeling agencies, and actually start a career.
