The CW's hit series AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL breaks the mold for cycle 13 by offering women 5'7" and under (below the industry height standard) the chance to become America's Next Top Model. Fourteen hopefuls from across the country are given the chance to prove they have what it takes when the competition kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, September 9 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET), with encore performances on Fridays (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).

Tyra Banks leads the panel of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL judges, comprised of leading fashion industry experts. The panel consists of photographer Nigel Barker, runway expert J. Alexander and guest judges - including Lauren Conrad and Kim Kardashian - who closely evaluate the progress of the models to narrow the field each week.

The winner of The CW's AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL will be managed by Wilhelmina Models, receive a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl and appear on the cover and in a six-page fashion spread of Seventeen magazine.
