Models take their shot at the big time in the Port City

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The America’s Next Top Model open casting call brought models from all over the Cape Fear to the Port City for their shot to prove they have what it takes for the prestigious title.

While waiting to be seen both male and female models were able to browse clothing and jewelry, have professional photos taken, and most importantly network with others in the industry.

Last year’s local winner Derrick Boston didn’t quite make it to the televised portion of the show, but this year he said he is back and better than ever. He said not getting through last year made him work harder this time around.

“All it did was motivate me and make me hungrier. And so here I am today even more motivated and more determined to take it to the next level and actually get on the show this year,” Boston said.

Boston said the most important thing in the industry, to him, is being yourself.

The 22nd cycle of America’s Next Top Model will be airing on the Cape Fear CW.
