List of America's Next Top Model contestants
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2009) |
This is a list of contestants who have appeared on the American television show America's Next Top Model. Contestants compete against each other to become the next top supermodel. They are judged by model Tyra Banks and her panel of judges, and win a modeling contract with a top modeling agency, a cover and/or spread in a magazine, and a cosmetics campaign. The series first aired in 2003 and as of early 2011, there have been sixteen "cycles" that have aired[1] A total of 170 different participants have been selected as finalists in the show in its six years running, with sixteen models crowned "America's Next Top Model".
Contestants usually apply to be on the show through video-auditioning, or attend casting calls, but the series has been known to recruit contestants from a myriad of various methods. Cycle 9 winner Saleisha Stowers and Cycle 11 second runner-up Analeigh Tipton were recruited via MySpace.[2] Isis King from Cycle 11 was recruited after appearing as an extra from Cycle 10's homeless photo shoot, while Cycle 6 third runner-up Sara Albert was scouted at a mall. Cycle 13's Ashley Howard was scouted at The Tyra Banks Show, while Cycle 15 contestants Jane Randall and Kendal Brown were scouted through a photo challenge on Tyrabanks.com.
