Stephen Gan, editor of V, says, "We're looking for someone who has it all -- the face, body, and amazing personality! V is known for its amazing fashion spreads...and we are looking for a fresh new star."
This is the first time V and Ford have collaborated up for a female model search. Last year's male model search for VMAN was so successful, the two decided to unite to find an "It" girl for V.
This year, Alexander Wang -- 2008 CFDA Award winner and current Gap capsule-collection designer -- will serve as a judge on the competition's panel.
The winner who woos him, and the rest of the judges, will appear in V and secure a modeling contract with Ford.
Contestants can submit photos online until June 29; the finalists will be announced on July 3.
