GMM Covergirl Contest

GMM Covergirl Contest is a contest where we’re looking for the first ever Cover Model of our printed magazine! September/October GMM will officially be one year old and we want to celebrate it with a paper magazine! At this point we’re not sure if the paper edition will continue past the inaugural edition? Or if it’ll be something we do on every year of the anniversary? Until that is all decided, we’re going to go with the initial paper print.

When we speak with each of the photographers, they all feel their photo/models should be the cover. We Editors have those we think should be the cover model and when we ask on our Facebook page, everyone thinks they should be the cover model. We Editors feel the best way to choose the cover model is to have YOU, the readers vote and pick! This will be the best and fair option and one we’re doing!

Do you want to be the GMM Covergirl?

The rules are simple:

1.) Submit a photo, any photo of you. It should be a really good one.

2.) You will be put into a contest where you will need to have people vote on you. GMM has a steady flow of readers that will vote, but the more of your family and friends you have voting, the better.

3.) The winner of each segment will be advanced forward to the Semi and Finals.

4.) The winner will be given a full photo-shoot by one of GMM’s Staff Photographers which includes hair, makeup, photo and video shoot. The winner will also be featured through out GMM and all it’s social media sites.
