For the past ten years, The Next Opulent Model SA has stood as the pinnacle of modelling competitions in South Africa, offering a platform where dreams take flight and futures are forged. As the largest and most prestigious event of its kind in the country and being the exclusive South Africa partner of Top Model Worldwide London, The Next OMSA has consistently discovered and nurtured the next generation of modelling talent, providing them with unparalleled opportunities to shine on both national and international stages.

This year’s theme, Prism, is a celebration of transformation and diversity. Just as a prism refracts light into a spectrum of vibrant colours, The Next OMSA aims to illuminate the unique qualities of each contestant, helping them to discover and showcase their true potential. The journey through The Next OMSA is designed to be a ray of light in the lives of aspiring models, guiding them towards a future filled with possibilities

The uniqueness of The Next OMSA within the modeling world stems from its commitment to inclusivity. Unlike traditional pageants, The Next OMSA is a modeling competition and extends its arms wide to existing and fresh new talent, with no prior modeling experience required. This openness allows individuals from various backgrounds, nationalities, and walks of life to participate.

The impact of The Next OMSA on the South African fashion and entertainment industry goes beyond the modeling runway. The organization's annual grand finale transcends the typical modeling event by combining fashion, entertainment, and modeling into a single, unforgettable production. It serves as a platform for both emerging and established artists and designers to showcase their work. The Next OMSA 's event has become a highlight on the South African entertainment calendar, offering brands and sponsors valuable opportunities for promotion. It is not merely a competition but a showcase of South Africa's burgeoning creative talent.

The Next OMSA is honoured to have the support of prominent figures, industry experts, and celebrities who serve as judges and mentors. Their involvement not only enhances the competition's prestige but also provides invaluable insights and guidance to the participants. It's a platform where both emerging and established figures in the modeling industry come together to nurture talent.

This year over 200 finalists will dominate the runway in a grand finale show attended by nearly 5000 people in one of South Africa's largest entertainment venues. Beyond the growth in scale, The Next OMSA has expanded its categories to provide diverse opportunities for models. From runway models to editorial models and fitness models, a platform has been created for everyone.

The Next OMSA slogan, “There Is No Grey Area”, encapsulates the brand's unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusivity. OMSA believes in creating a platform where every individual feels comfortable, irrespective of their differences, circumstances, age, race, height, or size. It is all about celebrating individuality.

Our 2024 Runway Male winner, Ruhan Marx, won Top Model Worldwide London, and our 2024 Runway Female Category Winner, Rethabile Mello, was the first runner-up at the same competition. She also had the incredible opportunity to walk the runway at London Fashion Week.
