Baby You Are the Cover Shot. CRUSH Magazine Has $1,000 for the Winner.

The CRUSH Magazine Cover Search is calling on models, dancers, and creators from Miami, Savannah/Tybee, Atlanta, and Jacksonville.

Open your camera roll. Go past the screenshots, the flyer you saved, and the twelve pictures from the same night. There’s one shot you always come back to. You remember the fit, what was playing, and exactly how you felt when somebody said, “Hold that right there.”

That might be your entry.

The CRUSH Magazine Cover Search is free to enter for models, dancers, and creators 18 and up. Choose your market, upload one recent photo, and tell us what you’d bring to the cover. If your personality comes through better in motion, add a short intro video. You can also share a portfolio or social profile.

Pick a Video for Your Camera Roll

Party Plug Mikey, also known as Plug Not A Rapper and Mr CRUSH, gives you three places to start. Watch for a detail you’d use in your own shoot, from the way you enter the frame to the spot you choose for the backdrop.

• “Moor Or Less” brings part of an Orange Crush Miami pool party into the video. If your city belongs in the shot, think about the spot only somebody from there would pick. Watch “Moor Or Less”

• “The 99 & 3000” is for the dancers who already know which eight counts they’re sending in. Give us the move your friends always ask you to run back. Watch “The 99 & 3000”

• “Good Good” is a cue to look at your entry like a director. What’s the first thing somebody notices? What makes them look twice? Watch “Good Good”

The Savannah Work Behind the CRUSH Name

In March 2025, WTOC interviewed George “Mikey” Ransom Turner III about the day-to-day collaboration behind Orange Crush’s permitted return to Tybee Island. After the event, WTOC reported that city leaders credited the traffic plan with getting people off the island earlier than in prior years. The Current documented organizers and volunteers cleaning up the beach after the celebration. For a casting search that asks people to represent their city, that local work belongs in the story too.

The search follows the four markets on the planned CRUSH Tour 2027 calendar. Miami is slated for March 13–16, Savannah/Tybee April 16–19, Atlanta May 21–25, and Jacksonville June 19–21. Follow official Orange Crush Festival® updates
