Top Model's thirteenth season features contestants who are all 5'7" or under -- a complete turnaround from the show's first 12 seasons, which required contestants be 5'7" or taller. 

The winner will receive a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics, a contract with Wilhelmina Models and a cover and six-page spread in Seventeen Magazine.

In addition, Paulina Porizkova -- who had been a member of Top Model's judging panel since the show's tenth edition -- was axed from the show in May due to budget cuts.

Joining Top Model creator Tyra Banks, photographer Nigel Barker and runway expert J. Alexander on the panel will be a series of guest judges -- including former The Hills star Lauren Conrad, Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kim Kardashian, and model and former Dancing with the Stars participant Josie Maran.

Fashion model Chanel Iman will serve as the guest judge for the thirteenth season's special two-hour premiere.
