Monica and I have been following the search for an eco-model closely through Project Green Search  on our blog for awhile.  (You may remember these postings back in August and again in October). We are proud to inform you that a winner has been selected!  Rachel Avalon from Los Angeles is the new eco-model and according to ecorazzi  she will be appearing in Organic Spa Magazine, Coco Eco Magazine, Peppermint Magazine and more. You can read about her bio here and watch her video on eco-friendly wrapping here.  Congratulations Rachel!  We can't wait to hear more about your ideas for a greener future!

Remember this posting Monica did back in August about Project Green Search?  Well, we are happy to inform you that public voting began just this week!  Take a look at the contestants here and vote for your favorite one.  Let us know which one grabs your vote!  This contest is such a great idea; it is so fun to follow.

Just call this new project “Portland’s Next Top Model – Green Version”. I am happy to share with you another Northwest Company leading the way with a new trend in modeling.  Project Green Search located in Portland, Oregon, has unveiled a nationwide search for a fresh-faced, environmentally conscious model.  

This search is specifically aimed at aligning the winner’s personal beliefs about the environment with their new business career. The winner will become “the poster girl for what is ok to sell…and what is not”.   The winner of this contest gets the opportunity to make a mark in both fashion and entertainment by incorporating “eco-friendly elements” and the “green message” into modeling.  Plus the winner will be crowned at Portland’s Fashion Week, and then showered with all kinds of fun and exciting prizes!   

If you are interested in this great opportunity, check out the registration requirements on Project Green Search by September 16, 2009.
