The Camera’s on Your City. Who Are You Sending to the CRUSH Magazine Finale?

The Camera’s on Your City. Who Are You Sending to the CRUSH Magazine Finale?

Four markets send one finalist each. One cover winner takes $1,000 cash.

A city’s style shows up before anybody puts a name on it. It’s in the way a dancer hits a beat, the way somebody puts a fit together for the night, and the way a creator can make you recognize a block from one shot. For the CRUSH Magazine Cover Search, we want to see who brings that feeling to the camera.

If you’re a model, dancer, or creator age 18 or older, choose Miami, Savannah/Tybee, Atlanta, or Jacksonville and show us what representing that market looks like through your lens. Entry is free.

Three Party Plug Mikey Videos to Get You Thinking

Before you submit, watch one of these videos from Party Plug Mikey, also known as Plug Not A Rapper and Mr CRUSH. Then ask yourself what you’d do if the next frame was yours.

• “The 99 & 3000” — If dance is your lane, use your optional intro to show the move people ask you to run back. Watch “The 99 & 3000”

• “SomeBody Bih” — Think about how much story you can get across with one look. Pick a photo that makes somebody curious about what happened right before it was taken. Watch “SomeBody Bih”

• “Good Good” — Watch with the sound off for a few seconds. Notice what catches your eye, then give your own entry a detail worth remembering. Watch “Good Good”

What the Coast Built

In 2025, WTOC spoke with George “Mikey” Ransom Turner III about the day-to-day collaboration behind Orange Crush’s permitted return to Tybee Island. After the weekend, the station reported that Tybee leaders saw improvements in traffic flow, and The Current documented volunteers helping clean up the beach. That local coverage shows the work behind a weekend people remember, from the planning calls to the cleanup after the last song.

The four casting markets follow the planned CRUSH Tour 2027 calendar — Miami March 13–16, Savannah/Tybee April 16–19, Atlanta May 21–25, and Jacksonville June 19–21. Follow official Orange Crush Festival® updates

What Your City Can Vote You Into

• The winner gets $1,000 cash, the CRUSH Magazine digital cover, and an editorial interview.

• The Top 15 each get a free photo shoot.

• The Top 25 each get free CRUSH Tour entry.

The prizes stack. Each market’s verified vote leader advances to the finale and earns a photo shoot. Overall verified votes fill the remaining prize spots, and a CRUSH panel chooses the cover winner from the four city finalists. Once standings are published, fans can follow each contestant’s percentage of verified votes across all four markets or within a single city. See the public leaderboard
