Model of the Year 2008 grand final - December 2008 Mercy Nighclub - Winners Gallery

Here are a selection of images from our very first Model of the Year 2008 grand final, held at Mercy Nightclub in Norwich on December 6th 2008. 25 finalists competed in 3 rounds and Jade Priestley from Norwich walked away as the overall winner. Runners up were Nicola Peck from Dereham, Rebecca Codling from Beccles, and Emma Watts from Manchester.

The evening was presented by TV personality Rob Lamarr, and over 400 people turned out to watch the contest. A big thank you to Mercy Nightclub in Norwich for helping us organise such a fantastic event, and for all of our sponsors for providing prizes for the final!

Lots of Academy photographers turned out to capture the evenings events including Graham Loton, David Sandry, and Lee Harvey. This gallery of images is brought to you by Academy photographer Steven Hyde. Many thanks to the Max Giamello hair stylists and House of Fraser make up artists, who made the girls look even more amazing on the night!
