America's Next Top Model season 15


The fifteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model premiered on September 8, 2010 and was the ninth cycle to be aired on The CW network.
Several changes were made to the show in a bid to place greater emphasis on high fashion, including a lineup of prominent fashion industry guest judges and photographers as well as a change in prizes.
All three permanent judges from the previous cycle, Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley, photographer Nigel Barker and Tyra Banks, remained in place.
The prizes for this cycle included a modeling contract with IMG Models, a fashion spread in Vogue Italia, and both the cover and a spread in Beauty In Vogue, along with an editorial feature on Vogue.it, and a 100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics. The international destinations for this cycle are Venice, Milan and Como, all in Italy.
The winner of the competition was 19-year-old Ann Ward from Dallas, Texas with Chelsey Hersley placing as the runner up.
