The 11th annual Hooters Swimsuit Contest is about to take place in Las Vegas on July 18th. In just over 10 short years, this contest has grown from a small town affair with prize money totaling just $2,500 to an international event with over 130 girls competing for the title and over $150,000 in prizes and money. Whether you like it or think it really is a "delightfully tacky" (their words, not mine) affair, the fact is that the Hooters concept is a success, both in America and in such countries as Greece, Germany, United Kingdom, Singapore, Austria, Switzerland, Taiwan, China and Australia. The Hooters swimsuit contest is just a small part of the Hooters operation, which has changed little from its early days in Clearwater, Florida way back in 1983. The scantily clad Hooters girls unashamedly flaunt their sex appeal as they serve seafood and spicy chicken wings all to the sound of the golden oldies jukebox music. There are always questions about the moral issue with the Hooters swimsuit contest. At least as far as some more conservative Americans see it. As for the competing girls; they treat it as a way having some fun, and perhaps a stepping stone to a new and exciting career. Overseas competitors coming to Las Vegas each year, from over 20 countries seem to agree, and the contest attracts more attention than ever. Little wonder, there are so many keen participants in the Hooters swimsuit contest. The Hooters chain employs around 15 thousand girls, in its restaurants located in eighteen countries. Yes, from Japan, Italy, Australia and the UK, stunning girls will be coming this year, to win the title in the Hooters International. And if you consider that the chain counts about 430 establishments, the choice is enormous Swimsuit contests do seem to elicit either a hot or cold response from most people - they either love them or they detest them, but at least the Hooters contest does offer great rewards and incentives for their girls. They all have a chance of being featured in the annual Hooters Calendars, and the Hooters Magazines. Why the Hooters swimsuit contest girls get so excited entering the competition? Because they see it as a doorway to stardom. Some of them may get noticed by the talent scouts and end up in the movie industry or in entertainment. The opportunities are endless for the finalists who are able to hypnotize the audience and judges with their gorgeous looks. So, what's at stake? Well, Miss Hooters International receives a prize of $50,000. On top of that, numerous appearances in TV commercials run for the company. Of course, all well paid appearances. For other girls, there's a title of Miss Hooters Congeniality, Miss Photogenic and reader's choice for various Hooters magazines. And while the US public is deeply divided over the Hooters swimsuit contest, the glamorous girls keep parading and having a good fun. When the night of July 25th arrives, all will be decided. For another whole year, a new beautiful Hooters queen will reign.
