Meet the judges
The judging panel includes original supermodel Jan De Villeneuve, 73, and celebrity photographer Nicky Johnston (both pictured above), who will whittle the finalists down to two winners.
Models 1 will also lend their scouting expertise to the search, scouting for suitable models across the UK.
Jan - who is one of a number of mature models, along with the likes of Isabella Rossellini and Daphne Selfe, who still regularly grace the pages of glossy magazines - revealed what she is looking for as judge.
"As someone who has modelled themselves, I know how it feels to be starting out in this industry and can bring a level of empathy to the panel," she said.
"I’m looking for someone who can show us their personality through the way they move and pose."
Meanwhile,Britain's Next Top Model judgeNicky encouraged people to enter on their nearest and dearest's behalf, saying, "If you have always been telling your Mum she should model, or you have a friend you think fits the criteria, then get applying!"
