ANTM- Cycle 20: Coming This Summer

Returning to The CW this summer, Cycle 20 of America’s Next Top Model will debut with a vengeance as contestants spanning from Bend, OR to Palm City, FL will compete for the coveted title.  For the first time in show history guys will compete alongside the girls. Eight men and eight women will live under one roof and battle it out to earn the prestigious title of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL.  This cycle will explore the similarities and differences that male and female models face in the pursuit of their careers, bringing on experts and celebrities to mentor and challenge them each week. There will be more than a little opportunity for rivalry, flirtation and romance.

The model hopefuls will compete for a career-launching prize package that includes new prize suppliers Next Model Management and GUESS, as well as NYLON magazine.  The winner will receive prizes including: $100,000 national ad campaign with GUESS, whose advertising campaigns have launched many modeling careers; a fashion feature in NYLON magazine, as well as a modeling contract with Next Model Management.

In addition to the panel of judges, which includes Banks, fashion public relations maven Kelly Cutrone and former boxer and international male supermodel Rob Evans, the public will again be able to have a say in who stays and who goes in the competition.   Famed stylist Johnny Wujek returns as photo shoot creative consultant and top fashion blogger Bryanboy will return as the social media correspondent, mentoring the models and highlighting the scores, comments and video messages from the viewers that will be revealed in the show during judging.

Fans will again have numerous opportunities each week to vote online and via mobile here to choose your favorite contestants based on photo shoots taken during production.
