Bridgetown, Barbados, August 25, 2006 - Local entertainment and media company ALT Entertainment Inc. is working with CM Production to provide a premium text message service for the first ever Barbados Amateur Model Search.

 

In commenting on the introduction of the service, Corey Marshall, Director of  CM Production, executive producers the Barbados Amatuer Model Search pointed out that, “For the first time, the the public has the opportunity to choose from Barbados’ raw modelling talent. With the judging system, quite often the audience is not happy with the outcome. For the first time the crowd decides which delegates will proceed to the final round!”

 

 “Furthermore, the two individuals with the highest number of votes in the first and second halves of the elimination round will each win an F125 Scrambler bike from DeMario’s Cycle World,” continued Marshall, who is clearly excited by the prospect of a truly democratic local pageant. “There will also be a number of consolation prizes each week for the highest number of votes submitted.”

 

“TxtPay is not specific to any cellular provider, which we believe this will be key to making the  weekly TV show based on the Elimination Round of the Model Search into a popular Reality TV show on CBC TV8,” said Corey Graham, Affiliate Marketing Manager for ALT Entertainment Inc.

 

“To vote for their preferred model, users will purchase a $10 TxtPay card and follow the simple instructions to add TxtPay credits to their phones. Then simply send “Model” and the model’s number to 246-262-7223. For example, to vote for Jane Doe, Model 025 send:

 

Model 025

to

246-262-7223

 

 

 

“Targeted primarily at young people in the Caribbean, TxtPay works in exactly the same way as prepaid payments for international calling and mobile phone service - you load up credits and use them until they run out,” explained Graham. Available today at all outlets of Cellular Planet, Teddies Mini Mart, JEB Caribbean, A&R Communications, Maximum Discount and Mamee’s Pot and Bar among other locations, TxtPay can be used to pay for a range of entertainment and infotainment content products and services, including Text Message Alerts, Voting, Ringtones, Mobile Phone Wallpapers and Phone Games.
