"Germany's Next Topmodel" is a prominent German reality TV series, broadcast annually on ProSieben since 2006, with Heidi Klum as its host.
The concept originates from Tyra Banks, who launched the original America's Next Top Model in 2003 on U.S. television. The format has since been adapted in numerous countries worldwide.
Each season aims to discover a new supermodel, offering the winner a modeling contract, connections with industry luminaries to kickstart their career, and additional rewards such as cash, material prizes, and a cover shoot for a renowned magazine.
Weekly, a jury eliminates one contestant, who does not receive a photograph and is excluded from advancing to the next round.
The show has faced accusations of sexism, particularly for requiring contestants to pose in underwear, with some participants being underage. Unlike the American and Austrian versions, which include male contestants, the German adaptation exclusively features women, further fueling debates about its practices.
