Meet the Face of Atlanta
On May 14, Atlanta magazine and MaxFactor unveiled the winner of the “Face of Atlanta” contest. Chanell Rose, an associate account executive who lives in Smryna, won the competition, open to all residents of metro Atlanta. Rose will be featured in a two-page ad in the July issue of Atlanta magazine (shown above) and she received a designer handbag filled with MaxFactor products.

In partnership with MaxFactor Atlanta magazine held an open casting call in March. Ten finalists were selected by a panel of judges that included Nolan Robert, makeup artist for MaxFactor, Valerie Jackson, former first lady of Atlanta, radio personalities Vikki Locke and Rashan Ali, stylists Johnny Cowart and Tamara Connor, fashion writer Marylin Johnson, and editors and art directors with Atlanta magazine.

The finalists’ photos were posted at atlantamagazine.com and readers weighed in with online votes. Atlanta magazine’s staff ultimately selected Chanell as the winner saying, “Her high energy captures the vibrant spirit of Atlanta and her polished look represents Atlanta’s sophistication.” Describing her own look Chanell said, “Atlanta is a young city and needs a fresh face. My look reflects the diversity of Atlanta.”
