Coronation Street's Jack Shepherd (David Platt)

Send your completed application form along with a recent, clear head and shoulders shot and a full length photograph. If we feel your child is suitable we will contact you explaining what happens next.

Following acceptance we will require a cheque for £60.00 payable to ‘Bright Sparks Model & Casting Agency’. This fee covers promotion in advertising material, possible inclusion in Year Book (space pending) and Internet promotion.

All children joining are required to be licensed by the local authority. Our agency will apply for licences on their behalf.

Parents of joining children will also receive a Parents' Handbook.

Photographs are the best way to promote your child. As they grow and change rapidly current photographs are essential. If your daughter is a teenager she may undergo a blonde to jet black! We therefore need to keep photos up to date. Costs are dependent on the individual photographer but usually cost less than £50.00. This fee is for the digital images for our database. Prints can be ordered at an additional cost. If you have recent professional shots of your child (one colour, one black and white, 10in by 8in size) then we can use those.

Presentational material is also sent to all major TV/advertising companies. They too make a decision on whether to ask your child to audition from this. It is clearly an important tool in the promotion of your child.

Please help us to help your child.Respond immediately to a request for information and in particular information required for the performance licence required by all children under the age of sixteen. Have ready a copy of your child's birth certificate, and two identical, recent passport style photos. It's also handy to have your child's medical history to hand for the medical questionaire. It may sound laborious but without the licence we CANNOT secure work for your child.

As with all agencies there are costs. We aim to form a partnership with you and your child. This involves truth and co-operation on both sides.
