"We're very excited about this competition," says Yanick Rice Lamb,
editorial director of Heart & Soul.” Our cover model search has been a hit with readers throughout the magazine's history. We've had some wonderful women grace our cover as well as the inside pages."

The contest, which is being held in partnership with Creme of Nature, runs through August 31. It is open to women who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry and legal residents of the United States. Along with supplying photos, entrants must also submit a 200-word essay describing how they embody the spirit, attitude and lifestyle of a healthy, wealthy or wise woman.

The grand prize-winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to the site of a cover photo shoot, as well as a two-year subscription to Heart & Soul and a two-year supply of products from Creme of Nature, the gold standard for cleansing and conditioning African-American women's hair. Ten runners-up will receive a one-year subscription to Heart & Soul and a one-year supply of Creme of Nature products.
