The Maxim Icon Competition Offers $50,000 Prize & Starring Role On Times Square Billboards … from Maxim Maxim Staff

The Maxim Cover Girl competition has captivated our audience and kickstarted several careers over the past seven years. Now, we’re thrilled to unveil a brand-new contest that’s set to redefine the modeling landscape: the Maxim Icon competition.

Register here for the Maxim Icon competition through April 29, 2025!

We’re offering aspiring models an unparalleled opportunity to make their mark. A sweet grand prize of $50,000 raises stakes significantly, but that’s not all—the winner’s Maxim photos will be showcased on Times Square billboards during New York Fashion Week in September. Imagine seeing yourself towering above the crowds at America’s most prestigious fashion event. This isn’t just a prize; it’s a statement.

The media buzz alone will be priceless. As the Maxim Icon, you’ll have the chance to capture unforgettable moments—snapping selfies and creating video content with your images lighting up one of the world’s most famous destinations. It’s exposure on a global scale.
