How The Maxim Cover Girl Radiance 2026 Competition Works
The journey to the crown follows a rigorous but rewarding path:
- Public Voting: The competition kicks off with a worldwide public voting tournament. This is where your community counts—rally your followers, supporters, and fans to propel you to the top of the leaderboards.
- The Expert Panel: Top-performing contestants will advance to an interview round with our panel of expert judges. They will evaluate your profile and record an interview to narrow the field down to the top 3.
- The Miami Finals: In a new twist for 2026, the final three models will be flown to Miami for an exclusive, in-person photoshoot round. This high-stakes shoot will ultimately determine who is crowned the Radiance 2026 champion.
