Are You PETA’s 2016 Sexiest Vegan Over 50?

Before you sign up for PETA’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50 contest, let’s go over the checklist:

  1. Are you over 50? Rules are rules.
  2. Are you attractive? We don’t mean just waistlines and BMIs. Compassion, enthusiasm, dedication, optimism, and smarts—all those sexy virtues that make a vegan a vegan—are attractive, too. So are being fun, encouraging, and uplifting.
  3. Do you take action for animals? There are all kinds of ways to advocate. Urge Ringling Bros. circus to send the tigers and other animals it abuses to sanctuaries, and tell SeaWorld to do the same for its captive orcas. Or be an “Angel for Animals” and sponsor a doghouse for a dog who is suffering right now in the sweltering summer heat. We can all make a difference.

If everything checks out, show the world that you have what it takes and enter PETA’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50 contest. Just read the complete guidelines and fill out the form below.

Here’s how it works:

You can send us a photo right now if you want. We’ll add it to the list of entries and—bingo!—you’ll be in the running for a lovely gift basket filled with some of our fave goodies from the PETA Catalog. The winners (one guy, one gal) will also be scheduled for a photo shoot at PETA’s Bob Barker Building in sunny Los Angeles.

But here’s the best part: You’ll get the chance to share your story and inspire others to go vegan and take action for animals. If you’re pumped about showing people what “sexy” really means, this contest is for you.

PETA will consider two factors in choosing the finalists:

  • The enthusiasm you demonstrate in promoting your vegan lifestyle
  • PETA’s assessment of your attractiveness (See no. 2 on the checklist.)

And we will consider three factors in choosing the winners:

  • The total number of votes that you receive
  • The enthusiasm that you demonstrate in promoting your vegan lifestyle
  • PETA’s assessment of your attractiveness, including all the qualities that we’ve gone over that make you shine

Now here’s the fine print:

**Due to overwhelming response, our 10 finalists in this year’s competition will be announced at 12 noon EDT on Wednesday, September 7.**

All entries must be submitted by 12 noon EDT on August 15, 2016. At 12 noon EDT on September 2, 2016, PETA will announce 10 finalists—determined by a PETA panel—and the public can then vote to help us determine the winners.

Voting will close Friday September 23, 2016, and on Monday September 26, 2016, the winners will be announced!

Your name and photo will be posted on our website upon PETA’s initial approval. If you’re chosen as a finalist, your further photos and your interview will be posted.

Winners are responsible for travel arrangements to and from Los Angeles. All other expenses not noted above or in the voucher are excluded (including but not limited to airfare, incidentals, gratuities, deposits, meals, amenity fees, other incurred charges at the accommodation, airport transfer, and all other ground transportation, travel insurance, souvenirs, sales tax, and other taxes and surcharges).
