When Playboy needed to find a centerfold for their 55th anniversary issue, who did they turn to? YouTube, of course. And it appears that they're still sweet on social media: aspiring Playboy models and photographers can submit applications...through Flickr.

How does it work, you ask? Why, just upload a photo to Flickr, and tag it Iwanttobeaplayboymodel or Iwanttobeaplayboyphotographer (depending on your qualifications)...then sit back and wait for that sweet, sweet email from Playboy. It's just that easy!

But you don't have to take our word for it. Browse the selection of wannabe Playmates and Playtographers in the Playboy Talent Search photo pool for yourself—or hey, if you're feeling lucky, submit a photo for Playboy's consideration.
