Public Voting Runs 15–21 April
The 2026 TCI Top Model Contest heats up with the launch of the Fan Favourite Challenge, an interactive social media campaign that empowers the public to select their favourite contestant. Running from Wednesday, 15 April through Tuesday, 21 April 2026, fans can vote by engaging with individual contestant posts on the official TCI Top Model social channels.
How to vote
Voting window: 12:00 AM, 15 April – 12:00 noon, 21 April 2026 (closing time local).
Platforms: Instagram (@tcistopmodel) and Facebook (@tcitopmodel).
Each like and each share on a contestant’s official post counts as one vote.
Engagement will be tallied exclusively on the official TCI Top Model pages.
Prize The contestant with the highest combined total of likes and shares by the deadline will be crowned the 2026 TCI Top Model Fan Favourite and awarded a gift certificate (meal for four) from Crackpot Kitchen.
“This challenge is an opportunity to celebrate community, creativity, and the confidence of each contestant,” said Courtney Robinson, Founder and Executive Producer of the TCI Top Model Contest. “Fan Favourite amplifies voices beyond the runway: it’s about the people who have supported these young models from day one — family, friends, and fans across the islands and around the world. We want to showcase more than polished photos; we want to highlight stories, resilience, and the personalities that make each contestant unique. This public vote creates an accessible platform where supporters can actively lift up someone they believe in, and it adds an exciting, crowd-driven element to our season. While the official crown will still be determined by our judges at the Grand Finale, Fan Favourite is a meaningful recognition of popular support and community impact.”
Important notes and rules:
Only likes and shares on the official TCI Top Model Instagram and Facebook accounts will be counted.
Use of bots, fake profiles, coordinated paid engagement, or any attempt to manipulate results will result in disqualification.
The Fan Favourite title is separate from the main contest title; the overall 2026 TCI Top Model winner will be decided by the official judging panel at the Grand Finale on Saturday, 2 May, at Brayton Hall.
The Fan Favourite winner will be announced within 24 hours of the contest closing via Instagram, Facebook, and an official press release.
