New Zealand's Next Top Model, Cycle 3 is the third season of New Zealand's Next Top Model which is a reality TV show based on America's Next Top Model. Fourteen young women compete for the title and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry. The prize for this cycle was a contract with 62 Model Management, a Ford Fiesta, a 1-year contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, an 8-page editorial in CLEO Magazine, there would also be an all expenses paid trip to Paris and London to meet with NEXT Model Management. The catch phrase for this cycle was "New Season. New Attitude" - hinting a slight change in the overall feel of the show.
The International destination for this cycle was Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in the Middle East.
This was the first cycle to have a live finale, and to have the final runway held at New Zealand Fashion Week.
The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Brigette Thomas, from Motueka, making her the first winner from the South Island. She is also the first and currently only winner to have never made a bottom two appearance.

Original Airdate: 10 June 2011
Cycle Three began with 33 hopefuls from all over the country, who were invited to the Bay of Islands. Here, they were greeted in the Waitangi Treaty Grounds by Cycle 2 winner Danielle Hayes who took them to the entrance of the Waitangi Marae where they received a formal Maori Pōwhiri, and greeting by judges Sara Tetro and Colin Mathura-Jeffree.
After their visit to the treaty grounds, the 33 girls were taken onto a yacht where their first challenge took place. Each girl had to pose at the bow of the moving yacht as it sailed around the bay, while showing off their best poses. Moore and Mathura-Jeffree deemed the challenge as a disaster (as most of the girls needed a lot of practice). When being interviewed, one girl admitted that she had tried out for the competition in order to get out of her dirty farm labour, while another girl admitted that her inspiration to enter the competition was in honour of her best friend who died in a car accident.
