• IMPORTANT MISS HT CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT

  by Bobby Black, Fri Mar 12, 2010 5:51 pm

  Hello ladies...I have an important announcement to make, but before I do, I'd like you all to know the history behind this contest.

  
  

  When I first came up with the idea for Miss HT, the concept was simple: invite all of our female readers to send in photos and info about themselves and choose the cutest, coolest ones to feature in the magazine each month. Then, at the end of the year, have the HT staff choose a winner and fly her to NYC for a professional photo shoot, put her on the cover and/or centerfold, and give her a free trip to the Cannabis Cup. That's what we did the first year, in 2006, with our first winner Jenni.

  
  
  

  Then in 2006, Steve Hager came back as our editor in chief, and had the idea to take that concept, turn it into an event and sell tickets. So in the spring of 2007, we flew 8 finalists down to Jamaica for the first ever Miss HT Pageant. We thought it would be cool to do our version of a Sports Illustrated-style swimsuit issue. So instead of having one photo shoot with the winner, we did photos shoots all week with all of the girls. At the end of the week, we crowned Sarah our Miss HT for 2007. Our first swimsuit issue with Sarah on the cover came out that May, and was our biggest seller of the year (thanks partly to our appearance on Howard Stern).

  
  
  

  It appeared we'd stumbled upon a formula for success, so we went back to Jamaica in spring 2008 with our next crop of finalists and took even more photos. We took so many beautiful photos in fact that when we got back, we decided not only to put our new Miss HT Aum on the cover, but to do a separate special edition Swimsuit Issue with nothing but photos of girls and ganja. Then in 2009, instead of going back to Jamaica, we decided to have the pageant right in NYC as part of our 420 Party on April 20th. We flew some of the finalists here to compete and had a very successful event. Which brings us now to 2010.

  
  
  

  With 4/20 fast approaching and most of this year's finalists chosen and eagerly anticipating news, we have thought long and hard about where this contest should go from here. After much discussion, we've decided to return the contest to its roots. So for 2010, there will not be a Miss HT Pageant event. Instead, the HT staff will determine the winner based on the photos and personal information the finalists have provided to us in their online profiles and their emails (like we did the first year). The winner will still win a trip to the Cannabis Cup, and will still get a photo shoot (the details of which will be worked out later) and other cool prizes. In addition, from now on every girl chosen as a finalist will receive two free Judge passes to the Cannabis Cup (a $500 value)—this includes all previous finalists for 2010. They will all also get their own email addresses on

  I realize many of you may be disappointed, but keep in mind that my original vision for the contest was simply to give you all an opportunity to be in the magazine, to be seen and heard in the pot community, to connect with one another, and to show the world the diversity and beauty of our readership. We don't need a pageant to do that—I think our redesigned

  misshightimes.com

  and new finalists prizes achieve that just fine.

  
  
  

  I believe the finalists we've chosen this year represent some of the most beautiful and sincere stoner girls in the country, and I'm positive that when we choose our new Miss HT for 2010 she will be a worthy successor to the crown and a smokesmodel that you'll all be proud of. We will be letting you know soon about when we plan to announce a winner. In the meantime, I hope you'll all continue to enjoy the website and keep showing the world what all us guys know to be true—stoner chicks rule.

  
  
  

  Thank you all for your understanding, your participation, and your devotion.... and good luck!
