NEW YORK - Playboy Mobile has announced
the first "Miss Playboy Mobile" model search as part of its newest mobile
initiative.
Playboy Mobile will combine the online community presence with millions of
mobile phone users nationwide in order to entice sophisticated, sexy women to
register and build online profiles in a quest to be crowned "Miss Playboy
Mobile 2008."
Visitors to the online and mobile sites may view the candidates' profiles and vote
using their mobile phones.
The winner will receive $5,000 and a professional photo shoot at the world-famous Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
"We are very excited about the very first ‘Miss Playboy Mobile' ... search, one
of many new mobile initiatives we are launching this year," said Edward Lang, senior
vice president and general manager of Playboy Enterprises' mobile and
international online division. "From submissions to voting, this campaign is
entirely consumer-driven. We designed it specifically to reflect the fun and
sexy lifestyle shared by Playboy fans and mobile consumers."
Women who are at least 18 years old can register and submit photos for initial
voting at Miss Playboy Mobile.
The first round of voting continues through March 15.
Voting on the 10 finalists will run from March 16-31, after which the finalists will be flown to Las Vegas.
The winner will be crowned on April 2 during a VIP
celebration at the Palms Casino Resort's Hugh Hefner Sky Villa during the CTIA
Wireless Association Convention.
Fans may view the entrants' profiles at the Miss Playboy Mobile website or
Playboy Mobile's WAP site (WAP.Playboy.com),
