Hornet Kicks Off Model Search 2025 in Thailand
West Hollywood, CA — October 7, 2025 — Hornet, the world’s leading queer tech platform with over 100 million users worldwide, is proud to announce the launch of the Hornet Model Search 2025 — a 3-month-long, multi-stage celebration of queer style, self-expression, and community. Culminating in an unforgettable live event in Thailand, this year’s Hornet Model Search represents Hornet’s largest, most ambitious community activation to date.
Hornet will spotlight stories of confidence, diversity, and creativity from its Thai community. Participants will embark on a journey designed not only to showcase looks and individuality but also to highlight Hornet’s role as a platform where queer men connect authentically.
The Hornet team will also take this celebration beyond digital spaces. Hornet will host a finale party in Bangkok, Thailand, bringing together finalists, community members, and influencers alongside Hornet’s own team, who will be present on the ground to celebrate with the community.
“Hornet Model Search 2025 is more than a contest — it’s a testament to queer visibility, empowerment, and the connections that make our platform thrive,” said Victor Sevilla, VP of Marketing at Hornet. “We are excited to bring this event to life both online and in person, ending with a celebration in Thailand that reflects the spirit and diversity of our global audience.”
Finalists and winners will be honored with prizes worth more than 100,000 THB and enjoy unique opportunities that extend well beyond the competition. Highlights include being featured on a prominent billboard in Silom, participating in a professional photoshoot and workshop, and receiving special awards and surprises.
As part of Hornet’s ongoing commitment to creating safe and engaging spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, the Hornet Model Search embodies the platform’s mission to amplify queer creativity and authenticity on a global stage.
