Maxim Cover Girl models, your moment is here. The inaugural Hot Girl Summer competition is set to redefine the game, with a streamlined format that’s as fierce as the women competing. Unlike Cover Girl or Icon, this competition ditches the Group Phase and Leagues, offering a fast-paced, high-stakes journey to the top.
The rules? Simple—each round, only the first-place model advances. With 10 rounds of public voting followed by an exclusive interview with Maxim’s esteemed judges, the path is clear but undeniably challenging.
The first major milestone? Round 4: The Main Finals Round. Win this, and you ascend to the second tier of the tournament, where the Wild Card rounds are enabled. A single loss before the Quarterfinal Qualifier means elimination, but six Wild Card stages provide a second chance—an opportunity for the truly resilient to rise again.
Make it to Round 10, the Finals, and victory is within reach. A first-place finish there guarantees an interview with Maxim’s top judges—your moment to leave a lasting impression. Whether you dominate every round or fight your way back through Wild Cards, the ultimate goal remains the same: standing victorious at the top.
This summer, the spotlight is yours—make every moment count.
