A new online search for the hottest girl next door has been launched at a new website. The winner of the contest will receive $5000, a chance to appear in a TV commercial, and an expense paid trip to a secret filming location.

"Because the search is open to all women -- whether they are aspiring models, showing off, or just having fun -- this is a great chance for exposure," said John Trotter of Red Hot Dateline. Entries are accepted until the round robin voting closes on May 6, 2005. The top choices will then move on to an online tournament.

Jamie Michelle, winner of the first beauty search, testifies to the attention she has received since entering the contest last fall, "Just being in the contest was really fun. The whole experience has really given my career a boost."

Visitors to the site can view and rank contest entrants on a scale of 1-10, similar to a hot or not voting system.

"Each week, half of the contestants will be eliminated until we get down to two and, ultimately, we will find the next winner," Trotter explained. That announcement will be made on June 17, 2005.
