Germany's Next Topmodel season 6


The sixth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on German television network ProSieben from 3 March to 12 June 2011.
Once again the entire judging panel except for Heidi Klum was replaced. Q and Kristian Schuller both left the show after one Cycle. Thomas Hayo and fashion designer Thomas Rath joined in.
In difference to the last two years, this season featured a preselection without open castings. The first episode started with 50 semifinalists, the fewest since Cycle 1. This was also the first season where an elimination outside the judging panel can happen at any point.
The winner of the competition was 20-year-old Jana Beller from Recklinghausen. Her prizes include:
The international destinations for this season were set in Schladming, London, Los Angeles, Nassau and Rio de Janeiro.
