CMTC Weekend Itinerary
The CMTC Information Booth will be open from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Thursday May 5th, 2011 for Contestant Registration. All fees from
Contestants and Attendees must be paid in full in order to receive their convention package, which includes the CMTC Program Book, Awards Banquet Tickets as well as official convention badges which permit access
to the convention site. The CMTC Information Booth will be set up in the Donald Cousens Conference Centre Foyer in the Hilton Suites Toronto/Markham Conference Centre & Spa where CMTC Staff will be
available throughout convention weekend to answer any questions or concerns that Contestants or Attendees may have. To ensure that the registration process is efficient, please arrive prepared and organized
with copies of your registration paperwork. Any outstanding balances or late payments that were not made by the deadline must be paid at this time by CASH, MONEY ORDER, BANK DRAFT or CERTIFIED CHEQUE ONLY.
Personal cheques / cheques not certified will not be accepted - no exceptions! It is required that everyone attending CMTC wear their official convention badge for all functions throughout
the entire convention weekend. Security is very strict therefore anyone not wearing an official convention badge will be prohibited from entering the convention site.
Contestants should arrive at the Hilton Suites Toronto/Markham Conference Centre & Spa between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Thursday May 5th, 2011 to allow plenty of time to register prior to Orientation, which commences promptly at 11:00 a.m. Directly following Orientation is the first seminar/workshop of many scheduled throughout convention weekend! Also on Thursday, we have scheduled the TV Commercial Competition as well as the Singing Competition Preliminaries. Thursday night, participate in our Theme Party & Dance - CMTC's Cinco de Mayo Fiesta! There are fun contests held throughout the evening and CMTC also awards prizes for the best costumes, which the National & International Agents in attendance judge! On Friday, the itinerary includes seminars, workshops, competitions such as Monologue, Kids Casting, Runway, Singing Competition Finals, Cold Reading Scene, Swimsuit as well as judging of the Cover and Commercial Print competitions. All of these events, plus seminars and workshops, take place from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Scheduling of these events is very close and the entire weekend pivots on a tight budget of time. Although it may often appear on the convention itinerary that some workshops, seminars and/or competitions overlap, we have scheduled seminars and workshops based on the number of models & talent participating in each competition. Seminars and workshops will be scheduled simultaneously with some events that do not have the majority of models/talent participating. This will ensure that models/talent will be kept busy at all times throughout convention weekend. Friday night, CMTC presents our second CMTC Theme Party & Dance - CMTC's Annual Be A Fashion Crime! On Saturday, the scheduled events are the Improv, Photography and Dance competitions as well as OPEN CALL Photo/Portfolio Review and Talent Headshot & Resume Review. Photo/Portfolio Review and Talent Headshot & Resume Review is an OPEN CALL format allowing Contestants a period of two hours to meet with the Agents of their choice. These events assist the Models & Talent with receiving exposure, advice, feedback, direction and also assist the Agents/Scouts with evaluating their selections for Callbacks on Sunday. Photo/Portfolio Review and Talent Headshot & Resume Review is FREE to enter and is included in the Contestant's Registration Base Fee. The Awards Banquet Dinner & Ceremony will conclude Saturday's events with a semi-formal Awards Banquet followed by a dance. Outstanding individual convention performances will also be recognized at this time. We will present individual competition winners, the Overall Divisional Winners and the Grand Overall Male & Female Awards will be presented to the two top competitors along with the Grand Overall Children's Award and the Actor of the Year Award. Lastly, we will take time to recognize and present awards to the Modelling Agency of the Year, Talent Agency of the Year as well as the CMTC Grand Overall Agency of the Year. Callback interviews will take place at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday May 8th. Callback lists will be posted at 8:30 a.m. Callbacks give the opportunity for the Models/Talent and Agents/Scouts to discuss further direction and representation. Throughout the weekend, Agents/Scouts will be evaluating Models/Talent in the various competitions & events and will circle the Contestant's number that they wish to interview at Callbacks (see page located at the back of the Official CMTC Program Book which you will receive upon your arrival at CMTC). Models should bring comp cards, or if the Model does not have comp cards, bring laser copies of their photos containing their stats and measurements clearly printed on the back (i.e. name, height, age, measurements, hair colour, eye colour, dress size/suit size, shoe size, etc...) to give to the Agents/Scouts that are interested in pursuing representation. Talent/Actors should bring headshots and resumes containing their acting experience, training and special skills to give to interested Agents/Scouts. Models & Talent should also be prepared to inform the Agents/Scouts of their availability. Agents/Scouts suggest that Models wear little to no make-up during callbacks, flat shoes and fitted clothing. Some Agents/Scouts may measure, videotape or take snapshots of the Models/Talent that they interview and may have them complete their agency's stat sheet.
