The Playmate of the Year vote is a tradition that’s
as unique to PLAYBOY as pool parties at the Mansion or Hef’s smoking jacket.
Although PLAYBOY has been measuring the popularity of every Playmate of the
Month since Margie Harrison was named Miss January 1954, it wasn’t until 1960
that the first official Playmate of the Year title was given to Miss December
1959, Ellen Stratton.
Earning the Playmate of the
Year title is a pretty tall ask, though, and doesn’t only depend on a
centerfold’s beauty or popularity. As an ambassador for PLAYBOY, her ability to
market herself and the PLAYBOY brand is equally important. Our new Playmate of
the Year will have large shoes to fill after the fantastic reign of South Africa’s
first ever Playmate of the Year, Jade Fairbrother, 2012.
Besides all the official
stuff, the Playmate of the Year vote is a great reason for us to see all the
2012 centrefolds together and gives you the opportunity to help PLAYBOY pick
this year’s number one Playmate.
Vote for your favourite
Playmate or register by SMS. (SMS’s
