Due to the great number of aspiring models and artists who want to be represented by Port City Models & Talent, we have formulated several ways to be considered by our agents, and have also included the general guidelines for submission.
Open Calls
We host 'Open Calls' the first Wednesday night of most months from 6-9PM, when you may audition for us. Please call or email to make certain that there is indeed an 'Open Call' being held that evening and to confirm your attendance and get directions to the new studio. Bring informal photos or professional shots if you have them. We also need full length shots and head shots (smiling with teeth visible). Actor's may bring a reel to leave for our review.
The business requires a marketable look, poise, charisma, stage presence, an outgoing personality and a strong motivation to pursue modeling, acting and/or music (and tough-skin and ability to withstand rejection... at auditions) in this highly competitive business. (Modeling) requires that one be tall, thin, fit, have great facial bone structure, straight white teeth, great skin, and that one be intelligent and articulate with a strong, unique personality and individual style.
Submission by Mail
If you are not in the Portland area, but would still like to be considered by Port City Models & Talent, you may submit photos through the mail. Please send several, recent snapshots, including a facial close-up (with little or no make-up), a full-length body shot, and resume for evaluation. Please include height, weight, hair and eye color, and birth date, as well as address (including e-mail) and phone numbers on the back of the photos. Mail to:

We would like to speak to everyone personally, however we receive numerous inquiries on a daily basis and can not respond to them all, or return all pictures. We will contact you with additional information, if we think we can market your 'look'.
