Australia's Next Top Model
Cox was announced the winner of Australia's Next Top Model, Cycle 7 at the Sydney Opera House on 25 October 2011, defeating Liz Braithwaite and Simone Holtznagel in the final.
In Episode 1, Cox was singled out for her potential in the natural beauty photoshoot. She made it into the Top 20 and travelled to Paris, France where photographer Jez Smith stated, "you can't take a bad picture of that beautiful face". In Episodes 5 and 6, Cox was declared a frontrunner after being the first girl to gain two consecutive first call-outs. During Episode 6, American photographer Gabrielle Revere stated, "I could see you in New York, I could see you at the castings. I really do Montana. I think you've got it."
In Episode 9, Cox became a contender again after photographer Simon Upton stated, "I was really impressed with Montana. She is the one to beat in this competition". In Episodes 10, Cox gained her third first call-out for her vintage lingerie photoshoot. In Episode 11, Cox won the go-see challenge after designer Fernando Frisoni stated, "I would book her with my eyes closed. I'd consider her opening my show". In the same episode, she was the first girl through to the finale at the Sydney Opera House. In Episode 12, the final three flew to Dubai, United Arab Emirates where they participated in two high-fashion photoshoots. Photographer Georges Antoni stated that Cox was his favourite after both shoots.
During the final judging, Sarah Murdoch, Charlotte Dawson and Antoni gave their verdict that Cox should be the winner, with Murdoch calling her "a supermodel in the making." In Episode 13, designer Alex Perry likened her to Cindy Crawford and stated "she is the calibre of girl you would see in any international fashion magazine". After winning, Harper's Bazaar Australia editor Edwina McCann stated Cox was, "the greatest discovery for Australia's Next Top Model or any Next Top Model series."[2]
Whilst being on the show, Cox won a national campaign with Blackmores as well as a spread in the Telegraph's Sunday magazine.

Her other prizes included a modelling contract with Chic Model Management, twenty thousand dollars in cash, a Ford Fiesta and an overseas trip to New York City to meet with NEXT Model Management.[3]
