Lights. Camera. And would you mind removing your shirt?

Playboy will come to Tucson Monday to cast UA students for a future issue featuring college students from the Pacific 10 conference universities.

The "Girls of the Pac 10 issue" is part of the Playboy's annual college issue, with the magazine visiting colleges in different conferences each year. The rotation means this is the first time in five years Playboy will visit the UA.

Official rules for the contest require those interested in posing for Playboy must be at least 18 years old and registered as full- or part-time student at the UA, according to the Playboy Web site.

Playboy is asking applicants to submit a recent full-figure photo in a two-piece swimsuit and a headshot. Candidates need to send in a brief statement about themselves and include their year in school, course of study, sport and activity participation, date of birth, height, weight and measurements as well as contact information.

Playboy will directly contact applicants who send in pictures and provide a time and location for an interview with the Playboy photo team.

If candidates are unable to attend one of the casting dates they can send the same information to Playboy headquarters in Chicago.

During Playboy's search, photographers will spend three days interviewing candidates from the UA, but due to safety concerns the location is being withheld.

The "Girls of the Pac-10 issue" is will hit newsstands in October.
