Aspiring models from North India may soon have a new route into the glamour industry, with CDF VENTURE announcing MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR. The modelling competition will allow girls to participate without a registration or participation fee, according to the organisers. Prince Narula has been confirmed as a judge, while Nisha and Priyanka, known for their appearances on MTV shows, are also part of the announced panel.
The company says the show will focus on fresh talent and aims to give newcomers a chance to present themselves before entertainment personalities. Two Bollywood personalities and three additional reality show personalities are also expected to join the judging panel. The organisers plan to conduct online auditions and hold semifinal rounds across several cities in North India.
The main feature of MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR is its no-fee entry for female contestants. For many young women, the first step into modelling can bring financial challenges. Registration charges, portfolio costs, travel, and grooming expenses can make it hard to pursue opportunities, especially for those who are new to the field.
CDF VENTURE says it wants to remove the participation fee for girls and give them a chance to compete without that initial expense. The format aims to reach candidates who have the interest and confidence to model but may not have the budget to enter conventional competitions.
The organisers describe the event as a first-of-its-kind format in India. This claim has not been independently verified, but the free-entry approach is the central feature of the announcement.
The company hopes that the format will encourage applications from different backgrounds, including girls who have not previously taken part in a professional modelling show.
Prince Narula Confirmed as Judge
Prince Narula will be part of the judging panel for the event. His career in reality television has made him a familiar name among young viewers who follow competitive entertainment shows.
Nisha and Priyanka, both associated with MTV shows, have also been announced as judges. CDF VENTURE has said that two Bollywood personalities and three more reality television personalities will be added to the panel.
The organisers expect the panel to bring different forms of entertainment experience to the competition. For newcomers, a modelling show with known television personalities can offer a chance to demonstrate their presentation, confidence, and ability to perform under pressure.
The final judging lineup and the process for selecting contestants are expected to be detailed by the company as the event moves forward.
Online Auditions to Reach Contestants Across North India
CDF VENTURE plans to hold the initial auditions online. The company says it introduced online auditions for modelling events in 2017, when this approach was less common in the industry.
The organisers have announced the following cities for the semifinal stage: Delhi, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Dehradun, Dharamshala, and Shimla.
This spread of locations could help candidates from different parts of North India take part without travelling to one central location for every stage. Online auditions may be especially useful for girls who live far from major fashion and entertainment centres.
Applicants should still check the official announcement for audition dates, eligibility criteria, submission requirements, and details of any travel needed for the later rounds.
Sunny Verma Wants a Different Format for Modelling Shows
Sunny Verma, owner of CDF VENTURE, said the company wanted to move away from the repeated formats seen in many modelling competitions.
He said, “Many modelling shows across the country follow similar formats. We felt there was a need for a different approach. Young people are showing more interest in modelling and acting, and they need opportunities that are easier to access.”
Sunny Verma also spoke about the role modelling can play in a wider entertainment career. He said newcomers often use modelling to gain camera experience and visibility before pursuing advertisements, Bollywood movies, OTT projects, television, and reality shows.
He believes the first opportunity should give aspiring artists room to present their abilities and learn about the industry. According to him, MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR has been planned with this aim in mind.
CDF VENTURE says it has worked with freshers through modelling events and online audition formats for several years. The new show is intended to build on that experience while offering free participation for girls.
Ayush Sharma Says the Focus Is on Supporting Young Talent
Ayush Sharma, managing director of CDF VENTURE, has welcomed the concept. A trained theatre artist and aspiring actor, he said he was excited about the opportunity to bring new faces into a competitive setting.
He also said the company was prepared to give priority to initiatives that support young people, even if that meant placing less focus on short-term profits.
The organisers have announced prizes for winners, planned celebrity collaborations for top achievers, and free portfolio shoots for finalists. These benefits are intended to help selected contestants build their profiles for future modelling and casting opportunities.
A portfolio can help a newcomer present their appearance and range to potential clients. However, the details of the prizes and celebrity collaborations have not yet been fully announced. Contestants should review the final terms before making plans around these benefits.
Preeti Singh Supports Opportunities for Girls From Smaller Cities
Preeti Singh, a Noida-based makeup artist and head official at CDF VENTURE, has also backed the announcement. She believes that girls from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities need access to platforms where they can present their talent without a high initial financial burden.
Preeti Singh said she began her own journey as a contestant with the company. That experience, she explained, gave her a better view of the challenges faced by newcomers and shaped her interest in supporting people entering the glamour industry.
Her involvement reflects the organisers’ aim to reach beyond established fashion centres. For many aspiring models, the lack of contacts and opportunities can be as difficult as the cost of entering a competition.
The online audition format and free entry for girls are intended to make the first step easier.
Male Category Will Follow a Pairing Format
The show includes male and female categories, but CDF VENTURE has clarified that male contestants cannot apply directly under the current format. Male models can apply to participate as a pair with a female contestant.
This rule gives male applicants a different route into the event while keeping the no-fee entry offer for girls at the centre of the announcement. The pairing requirements and selection rules should be checked through the organisers before applying.
CDF VENTURE Builds on Its Previous Modelling Events
CDF VENTURE says it has organised modelling shows for freshers and introduced online auditions in 2017. The company has also worked with Prince Narula on earlier shows, according to the organisers.
MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR brings together online auditions, semifinal locations across North India, and a judging panel that includes reality television personalities. The organisers plan to announce more names for the panel as preparations continue.
The event’s final reach will depend on the application process, selection criteria, and opportunities available to contestants after the competition. Still, its announced free-entry format for girls gives it a clear focus on accessibility.
A Platform for Girls Ready to Take Their First Step
MR & MISS NORTH INDIA GLAMOUR is aimed at girls who want to try modelling, gain experience, and seek a route towards the wider entertainment industry. With no participation fee for female contestants, the show may appeal to newcomers who have been waiting for an opportunity to present their talent.
Prince Narula’s confirmed role, the planned addition of more judges, online auditions, and free portfolios for finalists are among the main features announced by CDF VENTURE.
The organisers expect entries from cities across North India, including candidates who are new to modelling. For those interested, the next step is to check the official application details, eligibility rules, and audition schedule before registering.
