List of America's Next Top Model episodes

This article is about the sixteenth season of America's Next Top Model, a popular TV show where young people compete to become top fashion models. This season started on February 23, 2011, and was the tenth time the show aired on The CW network. The main idea for this season was "Rainy Day Women."

The winner of this season received some amazing prizes:

  • A modeling contract with IMG Models, a big modeling agency.
  • A special photo spread in Vogue Italia magazine, and also the cover and a spread in Beauty In Vogue. Their photos would also be shown on Vogue.it.
  • A US$100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, a well-known makeup brand.

The same three main judges from the season before were back: Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley, photographer Nigel Barker, and the show's creator, Tyra Banks.

For the international part of the competition, the models traveled to Marrakech, Morocco. This was the first time the show visited Africa since its fourth season, and also its first time in North Africa and the Arab world.

The winner of this season was 19-year-old Brittani Kline from Beech Creek, Pennsylvania. Molly O'Connell came in second place as the runner-up.
