The mechanics:

1. Every week, the contestants will submit a photo of themselves based on the weekly theme. The deadline for the pic to be e-mailed to the contest coordinator is Saturday night, 11:59 PM Philippine Time. No pic merits automatic elimination. The e-mail address is g4m.ntm@gmail.com. The theme for the following week will also be announced on Saturday.

2. The judges' comments on the submitted photos will be posted in the blog and in the thread. Votes, however, will be submitted to the contest coordinator through either private messaging or e-mail. The judges will choose who they want to be the Coverboy of the Week, as well as who they want to eliminate.

The judges must submit a 1st choice and a 2nd choice. Results will be primarily based on the 1st choice. The 2nd choice will only be used if a tie-breaker is needed. In cases of a tie, the 1st choice will count for 2 points and the 2nd choice will count for 1 point, and the contestant with the most points will either be the Coverboy of the Week or the eliminated contestant, as appropriate.

The deadline for voting is Sunday night, 9:00 PM Philippine Time. Please take note of the new deadline. We're implementing a 2-strikes-you're-out rule. If you do not vote for any 2 of the rounds, you will be eliminated as a judge.

Additional rules/notes:

For contestants -- You can post as many pics as you want in the thread, but you need to choose only 1 pic as your official pic for that week. You can ask the audience to help you decide on which pic you will submit as your official entry if you're having difficulty deciding. Please make sure that you don't put any text on your photo.

For judges -- Minimize criticizing a contestants looks. All we're looking at is the quality of the photo (poses, angles, adherance to the theme, artistic and editorial value, etc.). At the end of the round, please e-mail your comments to the contest coordinator so they can be posted all at the same time for the contestants to see.

CYCLE 2 ROUND 1 THEME: BACK TO SCHOOL

Just as it's a new cycle for G4M's Next Top Model, it's also a new school year for millions of students across the country. For this week's theme, you can portray either a student or a teacher.

Warning -- don't be fooled. This theme is not as easy as it may seem. Remember that the judges are still looking for a high-fashion, edgy photo. To stay in this competition, you need to make sure you're modelling and not just posing for another memorabilia shot.

Pics will be posted here: http://www.g4m-ntm.tk

Good luck to all the contestants! G4M's Next Top Model Cycle 2 Round 1 starts NOW!

This is the official announcement of results for G4M's Next Top Model Cycle 2's Auditions.

* * * *

Hi everyone! It's the moment we've all been waiting for all week. Tonight we finally find out who among those who auditioned made it as contestants for G4M's Next Top Model, Cycle 2.

For Cycle 1, the sign-up process was relatively simple. The 10 models competing were the first 10 G4M members who said that they wanted to be contestants for the competition. For Cycle 2, we decided to make the sign-up process longer and make the sign-ups an actual audition. This way, we could ensure that the models for Cycle 2 were really the cream of the crop.

The response to the auditions was overwhelming. We had to start the auditions for Cycle earlier than we had planned due to insistent public demand. By the end of the sign-up period, 30 G4M members were auditioning to be Cycle 2 models. Voting was definitely going to be difficult for both the judges and the public.

Almost a million votes were cast in the public voting. The voting was beginning to seem more and more like the recent senatorial elections as the days passed, not just in terms of the number of votes cast but in terms of the accusations of vote-buying and cheating. As for the judges, some of them were accused of being biased and having favorites. Though all the issues were eventually resolved, like Cycle 1, it seemed that Cycle 2 would not be free from controversy.

None of that matters now. What matters now is that in my hand I hold 12 pictures, and these pictures represent the 12 men who will be continuing on the journey towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

I will only call 12 names. The first model who made it to Cycle 2's Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

RLeinberg
http://www.guys4men.com/members/855228

You had the highest combined ranking out of the 30 G4M members who auditioned for Cycle 2. With 20 out of the 21 judges voting for you, you were ranked #1 in the Judges' Vote. The 57,138 votes you got from the Public Vote (ranked #6) showed that you're a crowd favorite too. Much will be expected of you in the weeks to come.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 2nd model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

indierock
http://www.guys4men.com/members/416985

You also had the highest combined ranking, along with RLeinberg. You ranked high both in the Judges' Vote (ranked #4) and the Public Vote (ranked #3, 76,600 votes). Your photos indicate that you know what your best features are, and make it a point to highlight them in your photos. The expectations for you are high, and we are confident you can live up to your potential in this competition.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 3rd model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Boytoy11
http://www.guys4men.com/members/902195

You started the week leading both the Judges' Vote and the Public Vote, and finished the week with respectable #2 and #7 rankings respectively for each category. The judges admired your daring shots, though we'd like to remind you though that there's a fine line between modelling and pornography. You need to constantly remind yourself of that as the competition progresses.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

Only 9 names remain. The 4th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

BACK'2BACK
http://www.guys4men.com/members/754646

You were 1 of only 2 contestants who garnered more than 100k Public Votes (154,577 to be exact, ranking #2). As for the Judges' Vote, you ranked a respectable #8. We look forward to seeing a wider range of what you're able to do in the next few weeks.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 5th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Andrew116
http://www.guys4men.com/members/429937

You were one of the Judges' favorites, ranking #2 like Boytoy11 with 19 out of the 21 judges voting for you. Your Public Vote ranking was #10. We look forward to the creative concepts we know you'll be able to come up with for your photoshoots.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 6th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

-jeff-
http://www.guys4men.com/members/340511

You ranked #4 in the Public Vote with 73,416 votes, and you ranked #8 in the Judges' Vote. The judges see much potential based on the photos in your profile, and we hope that this continues to materialize in your photos for the coming weeks.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

Half of the Top 12 has already been called. Only 6 more names to go. The 7th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

hard_hot
http://www.guys4men.com/members/725281

Like indierock, 18 out of the 21 judges voted for you, giving you a Judges' Vote ranking of #4. Your Public Vote ranking was #8. The judges noticed an edginess in your photos that we hope you'll use to your advantage with the themes for rounds to come.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 8th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

gOdWiN1
http://www.guys4men.com/members/465826

You finished the week #1 in the Public Vote with a whopping 156,000 votes. However, you only ranked #15 in the Judges' Vote with only 7 out of the 21 judges voting for you. Since starting with Round 1 the votes will come entirely from the judges, you begin to need proving your worth in this competition. You need to show us a range of what you can do, and this is something that most of the judges didn't see in your profile.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 9th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Rafe_143
http://www.guys4men.com/members/926339

You ranked #7 in the Judges' Vote and #11 in the Public Vote. The judges think you've got striking features, yet they aren't always properly highlighted in your photos. We hope you'll be able to work on choosing the best angles to highlight your assets in the coming weeks.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

We're down to our last 3 names. The 10th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

JETFIGHTER
http://www.guys4men.com/members/197897

You ranked #11 in the Judges' Vote and #9 in the Public Vote. The judges like that you're able to show us a range in your photos. This is something that will prove to be very valuable to you when coming up with concepts for your photoshoots.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

* * * *

The 11th model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

jcboi03
http://www.guys4men.com/members/866902

You ranked #6 in the Judges' Vote and #15 in the Public Vote. Like with Boytoy11, we admire you're willingness to be daring in your photos, but you should also consider that you don't need to bare skin to prove you can model well. Nonetheless, we see a lot of potential in you.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Before we announce the 12th and last model to make the Top 12 of Cycle 2, we'd first like to thank the 18 other models who didn't make it to the Top 12. Though your time with us may have been short, we hope that you have learned from this experience, and we hope that you continue to support G4M's Next Top Model. You can re-audition for Cycle 3, and who knows you might make it to the Top 12 then.

* * * *

Finally, the 12th and final model to make the Top 12 is...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

'shinji'
http://www.guys4men.com/members/868406

You were 1 of only 10 models who had more than half of the judges vote for them (12 votes), and you finished with a Judges' Vote ranking of #8. Your Public Vote ranking was #13, and with your combined ranking you scored 12th and final spot in Cycle 2.

Congratulations. You are now officially in the running towards becoming G4M's Next Top Model.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

So there you have it folks. We finally have our Top 12 contestants for G4M's Next Top Model Cycle 2. Though our comments this week were limited to the rankings based on the voting, next week our comments will be based on the photos that the models will be submitting for Cycle 2 Round 1, which officially starts now. This round the theme is "Back to School". Please see the new thread "G4Ms Next Top Model Cycle 2 Round 1" for details.

Thanks! :-)
