MTV Networks' Spike.com will invite fans to vote on a collection of 50 women competing to be the next on-air spokesperson for Spike TV.

Voting for "Girls of Spike," which will feature videos snippets and profiles of women selected by the network's producers, will run from Aug. 17 through the end of September. On Oct. 1, the 10 most popular candidates will be showcased on Spike TV and a final winner will be selected.

"The Spike girl is different," explains Jon Slusser, senior vice president. "Of course, she's cute and attractive.

The winner will appear during various Spike TV specials and as a correspondent at red-carpet-type Spike events.
