Covid-19: In line with government guidelines at the time, Model House was postponed in September 2020 and rescheduled to May 2021. We honoured partial refunds prior to the original date of the event was due to take place to those that could not attend the rescheduled date. Now the original date has passed we will no longer honour refunds to those that cannot attend. Applications were automatically moved from September to the new event date.
Alternative Model of the Year does not accept any responsibility of changes to our event that are beyond our control.
We have made every effort to ensure AMOTY could still go ahead (in a virtual capacity in 2021). Should you decide not to take part in the virtual pageant, this falls in line with our "changed mind" policy. (see above).
Following the Government announcement of lockdown easing in 2021, the rescheduled May 2021 date has now been postponed until April 2022, all participants of the virtual pageant have automatically been moved to 2022. Should you not be able to attend the new date or simply no longer wish to participate, refunds will not be honoured.
Photos: Refunds on photos will not be permitted after the event has taken place. This is because we waste no time in getting your images ready. A great deal of admin and editing time goes in to producing images. Once you have received the images, we will not be able to go back and alter these.
Changes to influencers and bands: We make every effort to ensure the line-up for the meet and greet and live acts will still be in place when the event can finally go ahead, any changes to these are simply beyond our control. Suitable alternatives will be booked should the current line-up change. If you are not satisfied with the changes, we kindly ask that you outline this in an email to us, you may be eligible for a partial or full refund on the upgrade.
