This is documented as almost the first thing in the documentation for ForeignKey. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#foreignkey "If you need to create a relationship on a model that has not yet been defined, you can use the name of the model, rather than the model object itself." The documentation really is your friend when learning Django (and afterwards).
