This year, models aren\u2019t just competing \u2014 they\u2019re giving back. In the past, Maxim<\/em> pre-selected a charity to receive a donation on behalf of the winner. Now, the power is in the models\u2019 hands. We\u2019ve partnered with four incredible charities, allowing winners to choose where their donation goes. Have a cause you\u2019re passionate about? Drop us a DM on Instagram<\/a> and let us know which charity should be next on our list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built for Models, Built by Maxim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We heard you loud and clear. In previous years, some models wondered, Is this legit? or Is this a scam? because the competition was hosted through a third-party platform. This time, we built everything in-house \u2014 with input from Maxim team members \u2014 to make the experience seamless, secure, and unmistakably Maxim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, models have access to a real-time leaderboard, enhanced security features to prevent bot voting, and a dedicated customer support team for any questions or technical issues. Plus, we are dropping exclusive videos in the dashboard with insider industry tips, contest strategies, and a breakdown of every competition rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling all models \u2014 Registration is now open for three exclusive modeling competitions. Join now<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair Play, Second Chances, and More Ways to Win<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all about keeping things fair \u2014 and making sure no one loses their shot at victory in the final moments. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve introduced two game-changing features to the competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up: Round Overtime. If a model is leading all week but slips out of a winning position in the last hour, an overtime period can be triggered \u2014 giving them a chance to rally back instead of losing in a last-second upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the Wild Card Rounds. Life gets busy. Whether you were traveling, had a packed schedule, or just lost track of the competition, this new feature gives models a second chance to fight their way back into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This competition is fierce, but so are you. Best of luck to all the models \u2014 now go claim your spot at the top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
