Hi Littlered,
Firstly well done, actually reminds me of when i was accepted when i was about 15 too which actually (if i remember correctly) all my research on the agency lead me to netmums and then eventually to NAPM.
A word of advice would be to apply to a few other agencies. The startup fees for bizzykids is rather high and as far as i have read they have a lot of children on their book, so you often find that some people have high prias for the agency and others are very dissapointed. Its worth doing a search on the site for agencies but some worth considering in the first instance (for modelling) would be (in my experience) :
Kids London
Urban Angels
Bonnie and Betty
Norrie Carr
Scalliwags
Alphabet kids
Daisy and Dukes

And for modelling and acting:
Abacus
Chilli kids
A&J management
D&B management

These arent neccessarily in any order, and good agenices aren't limited to those listed, they are simply the ones i can think of off the top of my head! and are worth having a look at it. I have heard good things about Daisy and Dukes and chilli kids on here. And have personal experience with Bonnie & Bettys and can say that she's excellent.
Also, its a good idea to check out alba modelling.com? which is a site that list legitimate agencies and warns of scams.

Bizzykidz is legitimate and they have MANY MANY children on their books
The registration fees are reasonable I think BUT please beware of extras, photos,showreels, voice overs, lookbooks, etc etc, none are compulsory however you will feel obliged to have them believe me, if you feel you or your child is disadvantaged by not having them!!

What seems reasonable then turns into a massive expense!!
15 is notoriously an age where there is a lack of work, think carefully before you part with any money.

I would be wary of paying for nothing in return. We did have a fee for my dd's agency but that fee covered a photoshoot and entrance into Spotlight.

With modelling and acting for children there are always some sort of fee's involved.I would say spotlight is very important if you are
interested in the acting side of things and very much worth the money.
There are lots of good agencies around....
Do lots and lots of research,this website is a great place to start so your in the right place!!! and good luck what ever you decide to do! xx
