New Zealand's Next Top Model (NZNTM) is a New Zealand reality television series in which a number of young women compete for the title of New Zealand's Next Top Model and the chance to start their career in the modeling industry.
The show's format was originally created by American talk-show host and model Tyra Banks.
The New Zealand series is hosted by former model and 62 Models Management founder Sara Tetro, and airs on TV3 NZ. The winner of NZNTM wins a modelling contract with Sara's agency. Like its American counterpart, NZNTM features a photographer and international model on its judging panel, Chris Sisarich and Colin Mathura-Jeffree, respectively. Mathura-Jeffree also acts as runway coach to the girls, much like Miss Jay on America's Next Top Model.
A group of young women live in a house together and compete for a modeling contract and the title of New Zealand's Next Top Model. Each week, the girls participate in a challenge and a photo shoot, after which one of them is sent home. The show is based on the hit American TV series America's Next Top Model, which was created/produced and hosted by television personality and former model and talk show host Tyra Banks. The show started in America in 2003, to early commercial success and was first viewed on New Zealand television screens in late 2004. Unlike the age range of America's Next Top Model where the age range is between 18 - 27, the New Zealand version, which targets a younger audience has a lower age range of 16 - 23.
New Zealand's Next Top Model was a ratings success in New Zealand. Cycle 1 secured a higher rating than America's Next Top Model on the TV3 network. Cycle 1 has also finished airing in Australia on the FOX8 network with similar success, becoming one of the 10 most popular shows on subscription television in Australia and at times out-rating FOX8's heavily promoted Australian version of The Contender. Cycle 2 was aired on Australian TV channel Eleven.
