Australia's Next Top Model is an Australian reality television series which premiered on 11 January 2005, and is based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. It is produced by ITV Studios and broadcast on the Australian subscription television channel, Fox8.
The series features a group of young female contestants who attend preliminary auditions across Australia with finalists selected to star in the series proper, where they end up living together in a house for several weeks whilst taking part in lectures, challenges, photo shoots and meetings with members of the modelling industry. Normally, one contestant is eliminated each week until the last contestant remaining is declared "Australia's Next Top Model" and receives a modelling contract and other associated prizes, usually a feature spread in an Australian fashion magazine, a cash prize, a new car and meetings with modelling agencies with the intention of securing future work.
Each episode of Top Model covers the events of roughly a week of real time (however, while overseas, an episode may cover a shorter period), and features a fashion challenge, a photo shoot and/or commercial, a critique of each contestant and her performance by the judging panel, and the elimination of one or more contestants.
In the eighth cycle Jennifer Hawkins became the host of the series. Fashion designer Alex Perry is also currently a judge. Previous judges have included model Erika Heynatz, former Harper's Bazaar managing editor Marguerite Kramer, fashion stylist Ken Thompson, fashion producer Victoria Fisher, fashion photographer Georges Antoni, model-turned-designer Jodhi Meares, model-actress Sarah Murdoch, TV personality Charlotte Dawson and fashion photographer Jez Smith. Usually there is a guest judge seating in on the panel every week.
There is a position of model mentor who is not a permanent judge but appears in almost every episode of the cycle. In season 9 Didier Cohen and Cheyenne Tozzi served as mentors. In season 10, Megan Gale joined the panel.
