Quick answer
Apply through the agency’s official website: check the domain, requirements, current details and requested photographs. Keep a copy and verify anyone replying. A submission and photographs do not guarantee a contract.
Verify the channel and requirements
Check the domain, contacts and application section on the company’s own site. Review age and location requirements, requested photographs and submission method. An account using a logo does not establish an agency relationship.
IMG’s recruitment warning says it does not request nude or lingerie photographs or require payment for applications. Use this to check an approach while reading the specific agency’s rules directly.
Prepare a concise submission
Gather current information and the requested views. Complete fields accurately, label units and use a contact you can access. Add styled tests only where they are appropriate or requested.
Avoid replacing the requested files with a large archive. Elite publishes its own online submission and parental-consent requirements. Check such rules again immediately before submitting.
After submission
Keep the date, recipient and material version. A lack of response does not reveal a universal score and does not justify purchasing a promised contract.
When a reply arrives, verify the sender through an official contact again. Discuss concrete meeting or representation terms. A contract and travel need separate review; an attractive profile cannot replace that process.

Common questions
Does Pola submit applications for me?
No. We prepare presentation tools; choosing and contacting an agency remains your decision.
Do I need AI photographs for a first application?
Only if the recipient expressly accepts them. Send originals when natural digitals are requested.
