America’s Next Top Model has a nationwide casting call underway for its next season and talent scouts are hitting malls across America to find the next runway star. Auditions are running through all of July and the show is making stops in major cities such as Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City. The CW’s website posted that many more audition dates and locations will be announced soon. In order to be a part of the 12th cycle of
America’s Next Top Model, interested applicants will have to meet a few eligibility requirements, such as age, height, and weight. Anyone who has previously participated in a cycle may apply again (think Jaslene and Marvita). At each stop the show makes, local newspapers come out to cover the story and talk to the aspiring models to see what they have that should earn them the title of
America’s Next Top Model.

I have always wanted to be a model... i recently traveled from germany, to make a casting call since my app...
In Twin Falls, Idaho, young women lined up and waited for hours to be seen by
Top Model casting agents. "I have a passion for fashion," said Shay Tusow, a waitress who is 5’11 and weighs 125 pounds. "I wouldn't be here if I thought I didn't have a chance." Those who wanted to audition had to fill out an extensive application and get in front of the camera for a 3 minute interview.
At the Potomac Mills mall in Virginia, the girls were lined up outside before the mall even opened. "I am trying out because I really want to be a fashion and role model for little girls," Becca Schultz said. Hundreds turned out for the casting call in West Virginia, and modeling hopeful Candace Radford said, "This is my dream. Modeling is my passion.”
Top Model host
Tyra Banks certainly has been keeping busy and she was just voted America’s Hardest Working Celebrity, according to a poll on Parade.com. The Emmy award winning host is getting set to debut her newest show,
Stylista, this October. The show is being described as “
The Devil Wears Prada reinvented as a reality series”, a competition for aspiring fashion editors. The 11th cycle of
America’s Next Top Model will debut the month before, on September 3rd.
