Germany's Next Topmodel season 12
The twelfth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on German television network ProSieben from 9 February to 25 May 2017 under the catch phrase Are you ready?.
The judging panel remains unchanged, and the teams and battle concept remain the same. This season introduced the shoot-out, where two or more of the previous week's worst-performing models face an elimination duel during their next shoot.
The winner of this season was 18-year-old Céline Bethmann from Koblenz, representing Team Thomas. Her prizes include:
- A modeling contract with Günther Klum's OneEins GmbH Management worth €140,000.
- A cover and spread in the German edition of Cosmopolitan.
- A cash prize worth €100,000.
- An Opel Adam.
