EYE catching Leanne Stephens is aiming to win the votes of the public in her bid to be crowned model of the year.

The Great Yarmouth girl is amongst the shortlisted entrants hoping to be selected for the grand final of the competition organised by The Kerri Parker Academy.

Office administrator Leanne, 21, is pictured striking a pose at the Snetterton racetrack where she was a grid girl at the Thundersport GB motorcycle race in July.

The winner will be announced at the grand final later this year, walking away with prizes including a modelling contract, her own portfolio and photo shoot.

Voting to select the finalists continues until Friday, September 25.

Leanne said: “It would be amazing to win this competition as I only started in the Kerri Parker Academy in February and going through to the grand final would be a great way to end 2009.”
