What would be the photo without the expression of the model.
Thats why each year we award the "Bodypainting Model of the Year".

The award goes to the model, that expresses and represents the bodypainting artwork the best. That includes the modeling on the main days, on stage as well as in the photo shooting area.

This prize is awarded within the photo competition.

This year the award goes to:
