The National Bingo has begun its search for the 2008 Caller of the Year this month.
Larger-than-life bingo callers who can make two fat ladies look like they are sweet sixteen are being encouraged to enter the nationwide hunt.
Callers need no special qualifications to take part, but do need to be currently employed as a main stage caller with a National Bingo Game-registered club.
National Bingo says: "The length of time you have been a bingo caller doesn't matter.
"It is your calling skills, your personality and the interest that you take in your work that will count."
The champion caller will take home �500, plus an all-expenses-paid holiday to Los Angeles, where they will visit Hollywood and Beverly Hills, before taking a trip to Las Vegas.
At this stage, all applicants need to do is send in a completed entry form and a recent photograph of themselves, by June 16th
If successful they will then be asked to prepare and send in a DVD of themselves in action.
According to the National Bingo, around 500 clubs link-up to play the National Game every day of the year, bar Christmas.
Furthermore, in the UK more than three million people play the game at least twice per week.
