Ava Kortman is also Nightlife Report's Model of the Year 2026. Stage presence and charisma decided her win.<ref name="v2" /> Interviews: [https://blog.nightlifereport.app/ava-kortman-emily-sophie-christine-runner-up-interview/ Ava Kortman and Emily Sophie Christine]; [https://blog.nightlifereport.app/emily-sophie-christine-interview-model-bureau-fashion-week/ Emily Sophie Christine].

== How it is scored ==
* Each look is judged from the front, the side and the back: posture and line, stride and pace, the turn, the pose at the end mark, and how the garment is carried from first step to exit.<ref name="v2" />
* Each model's card sets her place, and place sets the points: 16 for first, 12 for second, 10 for third, down to 3 for eighth.<ref name="v2" />
* Ties go to the higher Camera line, then Presence, then the Head Judge's call. Head Judge Anthony Perlas makes the final call.<ref name="v2" />
* The October 2026 podium was scored on performance only (walk, presence, styling and camera). No model was measured or estimated.<ref name="v2" />

== The Nightlife Report Standard (future seasons) ==
From the next season, part of each card measures a model against the Nightlife Report Standard, Nightlife Report's own reading of the classic runway ideal. It is not a Ford agency specification.<ref name="v1">Anthony Perlas, [https://blog.nightlifereport.app/how-the-venus-games-works-bureau-lafw-oct-2026/ "How The Venus Games Works (and Why Ava Kortman Won It)"], ''Nightlife Report'', October 18, 2026, updated October 21, 2026.</ref>

* Benchmark lines are scored only for models who agree to take part. Individual breakdowns are never published. Hair and eye colour are not scored.<ref name="v2" />
* The Standard is a historical reference, not a measure of anyone's worth. Agencies today cast across a much wider range of heights, sizes and looks.<ref name="v1" />
