Asia's Next Top Model (abbreviated as "AsNTM") is a reality television show based on the American franchise America's Next Top Model in which a number of aspiring models compete for the title of Asia's Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry. The show features models from the entire Far East region, including South Asia.
An extensive online search takes place for the selection process. Models of Asian descent are encouraged to apply, but are required to speak and write in perfect English. All applicants are required to be at least 16 and no older than 27 years of age, and at least 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) tall. Contestants who have previously participated in another Top Model franchise can still apply for the competition as long as they were not the winner, and are not currently under contractual obligations endorsing any product or brand.
For the first cycle, Vietnam's Next Top Model was appointed for scouting aspiring models throughout Vietnam. Trang Nguyen, who placed fourth on the second cycle of the show, made it into the final round and represented Vietnam in the main competition. Mai Ngo, a finalist from the fourth cycle, participated on the fourth cycle of Asia's Next Top Model.
For the fifth season, Cindy Bishop and Yu Tsai return to panel as host and creative consultant of the show respectively. Meanwhile, Indonesian model Kelly Tandiono would not return. Hong Kong-based model Cara Grogan-McIlroy will replace her as model mentor.Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe 2015, is expected to serve as a guest judge for a couple of episodes of the show.
Previous judges of the show include photographers Todd Anthony Tyler (cycle 1), Mike Rosenthal (cycles 2–3), creative director Daniel Boey (cycle 1 & 4) and fashion designer Alex Perry (cycle 3), model mentor Joey Mead King (cycle 1–3) and Kelly Tandiono (cycle 4), catwalk coach Adam Williams (cycle 2), and head judge Nadya Hutagalung (cycle 1–2), and Georgina Wilson (cycle 3).
