With unemployment near 10 percent all over the country, a Miami gay bar is offering a one year job to one lucky person who doesn’t mind competing for the prize in an online reality show.

The Palace bar on Miami Beach is launching Palace Boys, a new web-based reality show that will feature six contestants over four months competing in challenges to become the newest bartender at the Palace, a 6-month stint that will yield the winner a $3,000 prize and an electric bicycle to get around

town.

The show is not just eight cameras in the dorm-style housing and at work, but the contestants will be completely interactive. They’ll be using social media, keeping a blog, providing video updates and even recording each other. Viewers will also be able to upload video questions and comments, and even chat live with their favorite contestants.

The rules are:

• You must be 21 or older to participate.

• Willing to relocate to South Beach for four months.

• The final six participants must be willing to relocate to South Beach for six months.

• Must be willing to live dormitory-style with other contestants.

• The six finalists will be living together and must be willing to be filmed 24/7.

• You will be expected to work at the Palace Bar for 35-40 hours per week.

• You will contribute to monthly rent. • Participants must be willing to take part in “challenges.”

• You will utilize various social media to interact with the viewing audience.

On Feb. 12, the entrants will be whittled down to six finalists, who will continue to work hard and party hard. On Saturday, April 16, the six finalists will grace the Palace Bar float for the fabulous Miami Beach Gay Pride, where they will be able to strut their stuff in front of tens of thousands of people, working the crowd to get more votes.

Palace Boy 2011 will be announced on April 30. For more information visit: www.PalaceBoys.com.
