As the name implies, Headshot of the Week (HOTW) runs every week—but eligibility rotates to keep things interesting and fair for our members. There are three variations:

  • Standard HOTW – Open to all Coaching Group members who haven’t yet won twice.
  • Winners Circle – For members who’ve previously won a HOTW or HOTM contest.
  • Associates Contest – Exclusively for official Associate Photographers.

These rotate in the following order: Standard, Winners, Standard, Associates—so there are two Standard contests each month.

This weeks contest: Associate Showdown

This contest is just for Headshot Crew Associates. Once a month, the HOTW contest is reserved solely for Associates to go head-to-head. If you’re not an Associate yet, don’t worry—you’ll still be eligible to compete next week in the standard HOTW contest.

Even if you can’t enter, this week’s contest is a great opportunity to see the level of work you should be aiming for. Peter critiques these entries with an extra critical eye since all participants are seasoned Associates who have already been through the process.

If you are an Associate, submit your best shots and see how your work measures up against the best in the Crew. This contest sets the standard and shows the entire community what to strive for.

  • Only Associates and Mentors can enter.
  • Images must have been shot in the past 30 days. I want to see your recent work.
  • Headshots only. The name of the contest is Headshot of the Week.
  • No selfies. The point is to direct your subjects.
  • One entry per photographer.
  • Click on the thumbnails below to view the images, leave comments, and rate an images Lookability.
  • All entries will be critiqued by Peter and the winners will be chosen Live on an upcoming Crew Cast. (Typically this is on "Tough Love Tuesdays" at 4PM Eastern, however our judging schedule may fluctuate)

Judging

  • During the Crew Cast, Peter will select his favorites to be finalists.
  • Everyone on the Crew Cast then votes for their one favorite out of all the finalists.

Prize

The winner gets one free month added on to their Headshot crew membership.

Only active Associate and Mentor members may enter.

Headshot Crew This has happened a few times with the Associate contests. I don't see any submission button.
It's before the deadline. I'm an active associate. Any clue why the submission is being inconsistent?
