I've updated the original post and added about 40 names to the list (Not all clubs seem to have had Bunnies of the year, like for instance Manila)
If anyone has pictures of the bunnies in the bunny of the year costumes they would be very fun to see.

Good work BunnyFan.
I always meant to compose a list of the International Bunny of the Year winners (and finalists) with perhaps a photo album too. But with most other plans for the site they remain unfulfilled.
Off the top of my head, Phoenix' 1975 Bunny of the Year, Barbara Patterson, became the International Bunny of the Year for 1976.
After that, I'm not sure. With VIP ceasing publication in 1975, it's difficult to find a record of these events.
Although if Playboy *coughs very loudly* were to provide DVDs of the televised pageants, I'd be able to add the information. _________________ Alan, Webmaster
