Famed photographer and fashion icon Nigel Barker will be the host of “The Face,” a new modeling competition series coming to Oxygen in February 2013. To kick off the show, Oxygen launched “The Face Challenge” where people can enter video submissions via YouTube. Contestants will channel their inner supermodel by posing, walking, or giving the “look” like model celebrities Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova, and Coco Rocha, who will also be coaches on the show.

“We’re looking for personality, we’re looking for guts, and give us something a little fresh,” Nigel told us during an interview in the NBC Experience store in New York.

Hear Nigel talk about “The Face Challenge,” how contestants can enter, and what they will win in the video below.
