(Washington, DC, August 10, 2013) - The Urban Model Awards (UMA's) are back and hotter than ever! Better known as the "Sexiest Event of the Year", this highly anticipated awards event returns to where it was started.
The Urban Model Awards is a unique annual red carpet awards show that recognizes and celebrates the success of urban models in the industry. These models have graced the covers of, and have been featured in magazines, music videos, fashion shows, movies, TV shows, etc. The UMA's are the only awards ceremony that acknowledges the accomplishments and hard work that these beautiful women have put in the year before and the UMA's is determined to show the entire world how beautiful Urban Model industry is by creating a new fan base of people throughout the country that will continue to support the models careers.
The categories for the awards show will not only be for the models but will also include magazines, photographers, make-up artists and more as they also play a major role in the success of these models. When asked on creating the awards, Co-Founder David Lee states "My partner Jay Walker and I felt there was a need to put an event like this together in order to bring strength and unity among urban models, photographers, publishers, editors and makeup artists. Also, since the UMA's has been born 3 years ago people in the industry realize that they now have a support system and platform they can stand on".
After other very successful events in Washington, DC and Miami, FL, the creators of the UMA's have decided to move this year's event back to the Nation's Capital as it happens to be the home of many of the models in the industry as well as celebrities, athletes, artists, etc. This year the awards will be hosted by Autumn Joi (Former VH-1 Reality Star) with sounds provided by "Shadyville DJ" DJ Gemini. The show will be opened with a LIVE performance by R&B artist Chris Bivins and a special performance by 2 Chainz artist CAP 1 later in the evening.
