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.[1]
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.[2]
