Headshot of the Month is a free, public contest open to anyone who wants to showcase their best headshot to our community. Entries are critiqued live by Peter Hurley and Headshot Crew mentors during a public Crew Cast, offering valuable real-time feedback.
Peter looks for images that demonstrate the strong fundamentals taught in the coaching program—natural expression, clean lighting, and a genuine connection with the subject. After the review, he selects a grand prize winner, and a second prize is awarded to one random participant.
With prizes from monthly sponsors, HOTM is a fantastic way to challenge yourself, get expert insight, and experience the Headshot Crew coaching program in action.
If you’re not yet a member of the Coaching Group, we offer a free introductory course where you can get a feel for what Peter is looking for and the standards we uphold at Headshot Crew.
Congratulations to the winner!

Those prizes are always so awesome!
I am brand new as of yesterday! I submitted my first headshot but just realized I chose the wrong file. I uploaded the correct file into my profile. is there any chance an admin can help me swap it out?
I have done the same thing. Delete and resubmit BEFORE deadline.
I haven’t seen an option to delete it anywhere. Maybe I’m missing something.
Click on your image to get full view. In upper right corner are the 3 dots.. this is where the delete is..
Submissions - Yours - Click on Image - see 3 dots - hit delete - resubmit
thanks! That wasn't an option on my phone when I was looking.
Sorry I missed the deadline...
Got tripped by the february 1st 5:45.... AM...
Missed the deadline twice for the same shot ! (to be fair, first time I missed the topic, since only after shooting I realized the topic for HOTW had been cocktails...).
Hey Peter, thanks for that feedback - looking forward to making the corrections.
