How to apply to E.M.A Model Management
- Apply through the agency's own online form – the link is above. Prepare 4–6 unretouched digitals and your measurements.
- Check its website or Instagram for open-call days; if none are listed, apply online.
- If you are represented by a mother agency, let it make the introduction – that is how most placements abroad start.
- Models from abroad can apply; a work permit is arranged by the agency once a placement is agreed.
- Never pay to apply. A licensed agency earns a commission on your work, nothing upfront.

Supermodels is a mother agency in Vilnius, Lithuania, working since 2001. It develops new faces and places models with agencies in Paris, Milan, London and Asia. Applying is free and commits you to nothing.
Jurgita is published by Supermodels, so this is our own agency. Other agencies' profiles are based on public sources and their own information.
For agencies: placement and partnerships
E.M.A Model Management's booking and scouting contacts are on its website. It also acts as a mother agency itself.
