PEOPLE’s Search for Real Beauty at Every Age

Many people are familiar with PEOPLE’s annual World’s Most Beautiful franchise, but this year they are taking it the streets to find out what Real Beauty means. They are aiming to celebrate real women in the issue for the first time ever. Today, PEOPLE announced the “PEOPLE’s Search for Real Beauty at Every Age” which is a search for real women between the ages of 20-59 to appear in the 23rd annual “World’s Most Beautiful” special double issue.

Truly, the “Real Beauty at Every Age” campaign is a great thing. The campaign is a fully integrated contest where the readers of PEOPLE can visit the website (PEOPLE.com) to nominate themselves or someone they know. All they have to do is submit a photo and let them know what beauty means to them. Fans can then vote their favorites from April 2- 8th with one winner chosen to represent each age. From there, four grand prize finalists will receive an all-expenses paid trip to New York City for a glamourous photo shoot.

The nominations will be accepted from Mach 6th through the 18th. Voting begins on April 2- 8th.

“The ‘World’s Most Beautiful’ franchise is always looking for new ways to celebrate and reinvent what it means to be beautiful,” says Liz Sporkin, Executive Editor, PEOPLE Magazine.  “PEOPLE.com fans love being a part of the action,” adds Janice Morris, Managing Editor, PEOPLE Digital.  “The ‘Real Beauty at Every Age” campaign gives fans a chance to truly lend their voices to one of the brands biggest and most recognized franchises for the first time.”

This year’s issue will hit newsstands on April 27th.
