Seikore (制コレ; short for Zenkoku Joshikousei Seifuku Collection [全国女子高生制服コレクション]) is a national audition for female high school students who are photographed wearing school uniforms and bikinis. Published by Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump, it has been annually held since 2005. Girls chosen to be in Seikore almost always go on to become bigger gravure idols, or on some occasions are already gravure idols. Although it had been abbreviated to "seikore" from the people involved with it and other fans, the name of the audition itself changed to this officially in 2001.

Girls in each year of Seikore also win awards (such as "Grand Prix" and "Semi Grand Prix") and have gone on to have bigger roles in the entertainment world.

Seikore Girls
Several gravure idols have been in Seikore; the lists have been split up into groups by year.
