How do i sign up for the amazing race?

Applications have supposedly closed for The Amazing Race 7 , to be filmed starting in late 2004. Keep your eyes peeled for race flags, and watch for pairs of people running through airports along with camera crews (if you get pictures of the racers or the race, please send them to me; I can publish them with or without identifying you, as you choose), if you are travelling during October-December 2004.
If you missed the official application deadline for the next season, but want to participate (and if you are a citizen of the USA — the producers still haven’t changed their rule that, “No Canadians or other ‘foreigners’ need apply”, and I don’t make the rules), I’d send in an application anyway: many of the cast members in previous seasons of the race have been selected outside the publicly-announced applications and auditions, and some applications have been held over from one season to another.
Yes, the only application now available says it is for “The Amazing Race 7″, but I would send it in anyway. I assume that if the producers and casting directors like your application, they consider it for future seasons, as they have done in the past, regardless of what the application says.
The application form and instructions are on the CBS Web site for The Amazing Race .
If you have trouble downloading the application forms from the CBS Web site, the mailing address for applications, or for any comments on the eligibility criteria (such as the rule permitting only citizens of the USA) is: World Race Productions, Inc., 4120 Del Rey Avenue, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292, USA.
If you want to know what to include in your audition videotape, check out the audition tapes from the teams that were selected for The Amazing Race 3 on the CBS Web site — click on the “Teams” tab, then click on each team for a page including a link to their audition video. That was the only season of The Amazing Race that the audition tapes were made public.
And don’t forget that you don’t have to get picked to be in the cast of a reality television show to take a trip around the world — you can always do it yourself .
