Does anyone have any information on how to go about submitting for Playboy? Or how they do their casting process now?

I would start with their web site. While they do not have a print edition now I believe they have an online version

I’ve searched every website that company has. Even the foreign editions. No info or link to submit

Hi OP,
Normally they have a section on their website (as you know, of course) about how to submit to them, or any upcoming or current casting calls in various cities, etc. It looks like they're on hold at the moment while they try to figure out their new angle, save for playboytv.com.

Any official casting calls they do hold will be mentioned on their website specifically, though, and should be cross-referenced for authenticity against other model sites and posted castings claiming to be "Playboy" auditions.  It doesn't look like they're presently looking and tend to pull from agency represented talent for their tv segments, mostly.

You have a really nice look and best of luck to you should the opportunity to submit to them present itself; also, a quick edit correction to your profile video link while I'm here:  It should be,

Your current one is pasted from your desktop and points to a default youtube page.

And yes, Yes, Ken Marcus may have some valuable insight.

This may have already been shot but this is for the 2021 Playboy Calendar--when you go to the application page, you'll see they want three photos https://playboycalendarcasting.com/en

Playboy magazine traditionally did open castings in cities--it often did themes. As the printed publication has been folded, due to their policies, it will be difficult to submit.

Its best to regular scan for their more open castings such as the calendars. Good luck.

I don't know what Playboy is doing, now that the printed version is no longer in existence . . .

However, I did produce and shoot the Playboy Calendar, exclusively for 11 years, and can tell you that the only girls to appear in the Calendar were chosen from the Playmates of the Month of the previous year, along with a couple of Playmate's of the Year that were most popular. 

Unknown's that were not already published as Playmates were never used for the Calendar.

The calendar was usually shot up to a year or more in advance, as the production time involved to get them designed and the layout completed by the art directors, then printed and distributed would take at least 6 months from the time all the shootings were complete.

Each year, 18 Playmates were shot for the cover, and and the final 13 images were selected (one for each month and a cover) by Mr. Hefner, along with his editorial staff.

There was a reason why the Playboy Calendar stood out from all the other calendars on the market . . . the high production value and the already famous models.

You could try asking Olivia Preston. She was Playboys cyber girl of the year a couple years back and may be able to shed some light on how she got there.
