Season 3 Plot
Austria's Next Topmodel, Cycle 3 was the third cycle of the Austrian reality documentary based on Tyra Banks America's Next Top Model and is currently airing with the theme "Wer ist die Schönste im ganzen Land?". Once again Lena Gercke is hosting the show with Elvyra Greyer and Atil Kotuglu joined as new judges. The prizes were a cover on Austrian magazine Woman, the face of the newest Hervis campaign as well as two runway jobs at the Milan and Paris Fashion Week. Significant changes were made in the casting process: The first episode featured castings in all nine Austrian federal states with the top four of each state qualifying for a spot in the first episode. There the top four competed again with the favourite of each state making the final cast directly. The remaining girls still had a shot with the possibility of receiving a wildcard. In the end, five girls were selected, making it a top 14 in total. Another change was that there was one casting to book in every episode where the actual job would take place abroad, however only the winner would be allowed to travel there. The only international destination to where all cast members travelled was New York.
Austria's Next Topmodel Season 3 aired on January 6th, 2011.
