Chicago magazine is looking for the area’s most eligible men and women to spotlight in our annual singles issue. (Curious? Check out our Class of 2009.) Whether you have a friend you can’t wait to tell us about or you’d like to give it a go yourself, here’s the fine print: Applicants must be unattached; at least 21; current residents of Chicago or the surrounding suburbs; and can be gay, straight, you name it. Above all, we’re looking for folks who are accomplished, photogenic, and intriguing.

To nominate yourself or a friend, send a brief personal statement (as short as a couple of sentences or as long as a page—and don’t be shy about singing your praises), a current resumé, and a couple of casual photos taken within the last year (no professional head shots necessary; in group photos, be sure to identify yourself) to singles@chicagomag.com. Deadline for submissions is March 12, 2010. We will e-mail potential candidates directly. Good luck!
