YNOT – Public voting for Miss FreeOnes 2012 began Monday. This year’s virtual pageant will award more than $30,000 in prize money to the winners selected from a field of 312 international contestants.

Public voting takes place on MissFreeOnes.com. Each voter may vote up to 10 times daily for his or her favorite porn star, cam girl or erotic model in six categories.

The first round of voting ends April 20. The top 50 contestants in each category will continue to the next round, which will begin April 21 and run through April 30. The top 15 finalists from Round Two will progress to Round Three, which is expected to begin May 1 and run through May 10.

Category winners will be declared and Miss FreeOnes 2012 will be crowned at the completion of Round Three.

Twenty-five contestants will share the $30,000 prize money. Miss FreeOnes 2012 will receive a grand prize of at least $10,000, contest officials said. The final total will include donations made by FreeOnes members, who are encouraged to donate participation points they earned within the FreeOnes community.

Although voters need not be a member of FreeOnes to participate in determining the outcome of Miss FreeOnes 2012, votes from FreeOnes members count more than votes from non-members. In addition, FreeOnes members may vote more often than non-members. Votes may be cast via any internet-connected device.

“My team is really excited to announce the start of our third-annual Miss FreeOnes contest,” said contest organizer Petra. “We have over 300 girls who are very excited to be part of Miss FreeOnes this year, because they’ve come to realize the publicity value of taking part in the contest. We’ve seen them working hard to get their fans to sign up to FreeOnes so they can take advantage of all the added voting benefits.

“I’d also like to say a big thank you to everyone who has worked on this contest for the past six months within and without the FreeOnes team, including our Miss FreeOnes 2012 sponsors. Without my team or our sponsor’s support, I wouldn’t be able to pull this contest off year after year.”

The contest’s spomsors include X-Art, Flirt4Free, AEBN, BlueBird Films, RampantTV, Catalina Cruz, Brazzers, SexArt, GFRevenge, Jules Jordan Video, Naughty America, Miss Hybrid, Cherry Pimps, Video Box, DVDErotik, Sabrina MobiDeep, Hustler and WatchPorn.
