LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is accepting nominations for the 2nd annual Miss XBIZ Summer Babe Pageant, to be held at the 2009 XBIZ Summer Forum. The winner will be the face of the official XSF 2010 ad campaign.

Send each hopeful’s name and photo, and include the reason why she would make the best Miss XBIZ Summer, to [email protected] before April 15. Ten finalists will be chosen from an online vote at XBIZSummerForum.com. The 10 will compete for the crown June 4 in Las Vegas.

“This was by far one of the most exciting events at last year’s Summer Forum and was a huge hit!” XBIZ Associate Publisher Kristen Kaye said. “I can’t wait to see who’s nominated this year — better yet, I can’t wait to see what talents these ladies bring to the table!”

Once again, the pageant will consist of three parts — bikini, talent and Q&A — and the winner will be chosen both by a panel of industry judges and a measure of crowd applause.

Immediately following the pageant, the winner will be whisked to a Celebrity Suite for hair, makeup and an exclusive photo shoot for the official XSF 2010 promotional campaign. Photos will be featured in print ads, web banners and on future covers of XBIZ World and XBIZ Premiere magazines.

Past Miss XBIZ Summer titleholders include web starlet Raven Riley (2008) and Vivid contract star Nikki Jayne (2009).

The XBIZ Summer Forum will be held June 3-5 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas. The pageant will take place poolside Thursday, June 4.
