We don't want her going ghetto on their arse in a cat-fight for copyrights! Vancouver's **Next Gay Top Model** is a theatrical event organized by local community -with the support of organizations and businesses- to benefit the charity *Friends for Life*. It is loosely based on the popular television hit show. The event will bring together participants to a live-show on Thursday, March 6, 2008, where the audience will be able to participate by voting for the model contestants on stage and choose the top 3. Special guests and local celebrities will vote to choose the winner. The contest process is being filmed for an OUT TV television series, titled How Far Will You Go, and an independent documentary film titled TOP12. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reality Show Fundraisers:** Organizing reality modeling TV show events for a cause may be the next trend in fundraising. - **Live Audience Voting:** Incorporating live audience voting for model contestants in reality TV shows could be a new trend. - **LGBTQ+ Reality Modeling TV Shows:** The rise in popularity of LGBTQ+ reality modeling TV shows can be a new trend in the entertainment industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television:** The television industry could benefit from creating more fundraising reality modeling TV shows to support charities. - **Event Planning:** Creating reality modeling TV show events for a cause may provide opportunities for event planning companies. - **Fashion:** More LGBTQ+ reality modeling TV shows can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fashion industry to showcase diverse and inclusive fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vodka-Branded Pride Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-empires-ball.md) - [Content Creator Development Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadas-next-top-creators.md) - [Toronto Fashion Music Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modecanadarocks-spring-equinox.md) - [Immersive Fashion Week Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-week-fall-2024.md) - [Metaverse Drag Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/queens-of-the-metaverse.md) - [Record-Breaking Drag Brunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-brunch.md) - [Pride Month-Honoring Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hayu-pride-cookie.md) - [Queer Wool Runway Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-wool-survive.md) - [Immersive Queer-Led Community Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-by-vanity.md)
