Pageantry Magazine gives IMTA rave reviews!

The new issue of Pageantry magazine is out and IMTA is featured in a fantastic article! Their special coverage of IMTA's Los Angeles 2008 is available to read online on their official site!

Here's a quote from the article:
"If you have any serious Hollywood aspirations towards acting, dancing, modeling, singing or performing in the entertainment or fashion industry, this event is a must and offers an enormous opportunity that you absolutely cannot afford to pass up."

Pageantry featured IMTA alum Eva Longoria on the cover of the November 2007 issue. In the accompanying article, Eva recounted her pageant experience and how it led to her competing at an IMTA Convention. IMTA's week long conference is not a pageant but it is a showcase for aspiring models, actors, singers and dancers who want to show their potential to major market agents and scouts who are looking for new faces to represent. To read an article about crossover success (using pageant experience to launch a modeling or acting career at IMTA), please read Eve Matheson's excellent article from Pageantry's official site.
