More than 10,000 gorgeous women participated in a worldwide search for our next cover model. Our readers voted in overwhelming numbers, with over 18 million unique visitors. Meet Olivia Burns, the winner of our first-ever Maxim Cover Girl contest.
Even in a plain black sweater and jeans, it’s impossible to miss Olivia Burns, with her wide green eyes and pillowy lips. It’s hard to believe, then, that the winner of the inaugural Maxim Cover Girl competition almost gave up on modeling altogether. “I used to just dream of being a model,” says Burns, who lives in Wellington, Florida, “but I felt like you had to be really tall to do it.”
Fortunately for Burns—and the rest of us—she didn’t give up. Last fall, Maxim went in search of the sexiest undiscovered potential cover models in the world, and we put it to a vote. After a three-month public voting process, Burns was crowned the first-ever winner of the Maxim Cover Girl competition, beating out over 10,000 entrants. It was the first time a leading national men’s magazine has selected a cover girl through a democratic vote. And our readers responded with fervor: The contest drew over 18 million unique visitors with more than 27 million impressions.
