The tenth season of Australia's Next Top Model began airing on 20 September 2016 on Fox8.[1] Head judge and host Jennifer Hawkins and judge Alex Perry returned along with model mentor Cheyenne Tozzi.[2] Tozzi's co-mentor and former judge Didier Cohen left the show after season 9, and was replaced by the Stenmark twins, models Jordan and Zac Stenmark, as her new co-mentors.[3] Model Megan Gale joined the judging panel as a permanent judge.[4]
The prizes for this season included a one-year modelling contract with Priscilla's Model Management in Sydney, a trip to New York City for New York Fashion Week valued at A$20,000 thanks to Colgate Optic White, a brand new Mazda2 Hatch, and an editorial spread in Elle Australia.[5]
It was the first season that the final two contestants were never in the bottom two appearance.
All applicants were required to be aged 16 and over on 1 January 2016 to be on the show. Those auditioning had to be at least 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall. To qualify, all applicants had to be an Australian citizen currently living in Australia. Additional requirements stated that a contestant could not have had previous experience as a model in a national campaign within the last five years.[7][8]
Auditions
Auditions were held in Gold Coast on September 23, in Sydney on September 25–26, in Melbourne on 30 September and 1 October, in Hobart on October 3 and in Perth in October 9.[7][8] Applicants from Darwin, Dubbo, Port Macquarie and Townsville were also invited to auditions.[7] Applicants were also encouraged to apply for the competition online if they were unable to make an appearance at the live auditions.
Guest judges
To celebrate the series' ten year anniversary, the show decided to invite several well-known Australian models as guests for the new season. These included Elle Macpherson, Gemma Ward, and Miranda Kerr.[9][10] The show also invited back several contestants from seasons past for guest appearances. Among these were season 7 winner Montana Cox and 2nd runner-up Simone Holtznagel, season 6 winner Amanda Ware, and season 5 runner-up Cassi Van Den Dungen. The series finale culminated with a runway show that invited several other alumni from multiple seasons of the show.[11][12][13]
The final thirteen took part in their first runway challenge in front of a crowd of 400 people, and had to model designs from Alex Perry's S/S16 collection. They later had a night time photo shoot at The Star, facing off against season 7 winner Montana Cox.
The models competed in groups for a challenge in which they had to create a social media video for Colgate Optic White, with the best performer being chosen as an ambassador for the brand. The contestants later arrived at Randwick Racecourse, where they were introduced to Australian model Elle Macpherson, and took part in an equestrian inspired photo shoot with a racehorse.
The remaining eleven contestants were challenged to walk in a presentation for Swarovski as a part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to win the opportunity of being featured in the brands upcoming Crystaldust campaign, and were later coached by former Australia's Next Top Model contestants Amanda Ware, Cassi Van Den Dungen, and Simone Holtznagel in preparation for a latex photo shoot in groups photographed by Jez Smith.
Special guests: Margaret Simonovska, Amanda Ware, Cassi Van Den Dungen, Simone Holtznagel
The contestants received makeovers, and after having had no challenge or challenge scores, had to rely solely on their performance at a photo shoot session with alternative models at the Skyline Drive-In in Blacktown to guarantee their spot in the competition.
After a screen test challenge mentored by model-actress Gemma Ward, the models took part in a photo shoot session at Cradle Mountain in Tasmania. One of the contestants was left unable to participate after a medical emergency, and was granted exemption from elimination.
The final eight models were challenged to walk in a runway show over a pool, where they had to dive underwater and pose in a bid to be granted immunity from the upcoming double elimination. They later took part in a photo shoot session with fire performers.
The final six took part in a Fitbit look book challenge, for which the winner was awarded the chance of becoming the brand's new ambassador. The models were later styled in Jennifer Hawkins' line of swimwear, Cozi, for a shoot that focused entirely on their body while their face was hidden from view.
The remaining models were paired off into two teams in a challenge for Mazda, where they had to take their own photos in an attempt to have it featured in the brand's new print campaign. On set, the contestants had to model colorful costume designs, as they were mentored by Australian model Miranda Kerr.
Immediately following the previous elimination, it was revealed that the final four contestants would be heading overseas to Milan. After arriving, the models took on a casting challenge for Trussardi, for which the winner was awarded double the amount of time in front of the camera for the upcoming photo shoot. On set, the girls were dressed in Italian fashion labels for an editorial session overlooking the Naviglio Grande. Back in Australia, it was revealed that only two contestants would advance to the finale.
The final two shot for a mock cover and their winning editorial spread to be published in the December issue of Elle Australia. Later, the formerly eliminated models returned for a final runway show, with 40 contestants from all nine seasons of the series. After the judges reviewed the covers from the final photo shoot of the series, Aleyna was crowned as the tenth winner of Australia's Next Top Model.
