Tyra Bank is calling on curvy cuties for newest modeling competition.
 
Tyra is all about expanding the perception of what is beautiful, and her latest project is no exception. The model and media mogul announced the launch of her Fiercely Real Teen Model Search Monday on “The Tyra Show.” 

 
The competition is open to plus-size girls between the ages of 13 and 19. Hopefuls can range from size 12 to 20, but they must be 5’9” to 6’1.” Tyra is looking for fresh faces, so no one with prior modeling experience is eligible.
 
At stake are a one-year modeling contract and two fashion spreads: one in a major fashion magazine and the other in Tyra’s MagaLine. Tyra will shoot the spread for her online publication and she’ll pose with you on the cover.
 
Entries are only being accepted online, but they must be in February 5. To be considered, you must submit four of your fiercest photos. Semi-finalists will be selected by February 15, but only six of them will appear on “Tyra” and the competition will be narrowed from there.
