Sitting next to creator and host Tyra Banks on the judging panel will be fashion public relations maven Kelly Cutrone as well as J. "Miss J." Alexander. In addition, Yu Tsai, a renowned photographer, will be joining the series as the new photo shoot creative consultant.
America's Next Top Model's 21st season will offer its winner the following prize package: a fashion feature in Nylon Magazine, a $100,000 cash prize from Guess, and the opportunity to sign a modeling contract with Next Model Management.
Fans will continue to have the opportunity to vote online and via mobile to choose their favorite eliminated contestants -- and potentially save them in the competition -- based on a variety of photo shoots. The model to receive the most votes will be allowed back in the running to be crowned "America's Next Top Model."
Although Top Model will debut on a Monday night, after six weeks, episodes will move to Friday nights at 9PM ET/PT. The Friday night broadcasts will begin airing on October 3.
