YNOT – Massive erotic picture gallery FreeOnes.com opened registration for its annual Miss FreeOnes competition Sept. 1. The 2011 contest, voting for which will begin Nov. 15, is open to any erotic model or porn star who has a section on FreeOnes and is registered and verified as an Official Checked Star Member on the FreeOnes Message Board.The top prize is expected to be worth at least $15,000, the contest’s organizer said.
The 2011 contest will follow a different format than past competitions. Like the previous incarnations, Miss FreeOnes 2011 will feature a popularity contest pitting all eligible contestants against each other for the supreme title. Three elimination rounds will take place over 45 days. However, the 2011 contest also adds six categories in which voters can nominate their favorite contestants: Best European Porn Star, Hottest Cam Starlet, Hottest Adult Model, FreeOnes Favorite Newcomer, Best Official Site, and Top Official Checked Star Member.
The “categories” portion of Miss FreeOnes will run at the same time as the popularity contest and in three rounds as well.
Changes also have been made to the voting process, allowing FreeOnes members more control of the contest. Like last year, voters who aren’t registered with MyFreeOnes will be able to vote; however, their votes will have much less power than registered members of MyFreeOnes.
Besides greater voting power, MyFreeOnes members will be able to bypass the captcha validation that anonymous voters must complete. Members also will earn FreeOnes points for voting daily, and they will be able to save their votes from day to day instead of having to go through the entire process each time they log in.
“Since the conclusion of the 2010 edition of Miss FreeOnes, both fans and models have been asking us if we’re going to hold a 2011 contest. The answer is yes,” said contest organizer Petra. “At the end of the last contest, we got an overwhelming amount of feedback about how voters and contestants thought the contest went. I’m pleased to say that due to that feedback, I’m confident that 2011 is going to be even bigger and better.
“The major change between contests is, of course, the length of time the contest will be run. We’ve decided to go with three rounds in a month and a half. We got a lot of complaints from voters and contestants that three months was too long, and voters got bored. To keep things fresh and exciting, the rounds will be short and fierce.
“We also decided to add categories to the contest this year for two reasons,” she continued. “The first reason is, we want to give voters something more to do than just make a few votes each day. The other reason is, we want to give more contestants an opportunity to win. A girl who has been added to FreeOnes in 2010 could easily be eliminated from the popularity contest because she’s not very well known; however, she could still go on to compete in the FreeOnes Favorite Newcomer category.
“The last major change that we have added to the 2011 contest format is we are accepting sponsors for Miss FreeOnes,” Petra said. “We had several companies that made offers to us for the 2010 contest, so we decided to make four levels of sponsorship for those who are interested. Depending on which package is chosen, a sponsor can get mentioned on anything from the award announcement party to having their logo on the main page. Platinum Sponsors get to choose one of the six categories to sponsor.”
More information about sponsorship is available at the Miss FreeOnes website.
