Vote for your favorite Maxim Cover Girl competition model before voting ends on April 19!
Thousands of voters have already helped advance contestants through multiple Maxim Cover Girl competition rounds. But the final Judging Round panel will ultimately decide who takes the MCG competition crown.
Three of the Maxim Cover Girl competition judges are former Maxim cover models. Here are their tips for MCG competition hopefuls:
“I’m excited for the final candidates! It’s a big deal to land a Maxim cover, where so many well-known models, actresses, athletes and influencers been featured and photographed by one of the best photographers in the world,” said Daniela Botero, a former Maxim cover model.
“I will vote for someone who can represent the magazine with grace—someone with good proportions, elegance, and personality. I’m also looking for a candidate who will take this opportunity to a next level. I will definitely look at her background and her motivation.”
“My biggest tip would be to share and expose yourself to as many people as possible throughout your community,” added Elizabeth Nguyen, the 2019 Maxim Cover Girl competition winner. “Let everyone know, and don’t be afraid to ask people to vote for you.”
“I am looking for a Maxim cover girl who exudes confidence, sophistication, and has a magnetic presence,” said former cover model Gracie Hunt.
“I want someone who embodies beauty, intelligence, and a strong sense of self. My ideal cover girl would be someone who embraces her individuality, radiates empowerment, and inspires others. She would represent the epitome of modern femininity but also have a touch of edginess and a dash of glamor that sets her apart from the rest,” Hunt said.
Upon reaching the final Judging Round, contestants’ entry profiles and social media channels will be reviewed.
