Don't hotlink the image, and if you use it, give credit to UPN. Thanks.

Banks leads the panel of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL judges, comprised of leading fashion industry experts, including supermodel Twiggy, photographer Nigel Barker and runway expert J. Alexander, who closely evaluate the progress of the models to narrow the field each week. In addition, special guest judges appear to critique within his or her area of expertise.
The winner of UPN's AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL will have the opportunity to be managed by Ford Models. She also receives a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl. Finally, the winner appears in a fashion spread in Elle magazine.
AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL is produced by 10 by 10 Entertainment, in association with Bankable Productions. Tyra Banks is the creator and executive producer along with Ken Mok ("Making the Band") and Anthony Dominici ("The Amazing Race").

If you didn't feel like reading all that, here's a condensed version:
-Same prize package (spread in Elle shot by Gilles, contract from CG, contract from Ford). No cover with Tyra though?
-The girls will be living in a mansion in L.A.
-The premiere will be two hours long.
In that promo picture, Jade really seems to be channeling Naima.
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about those of you who responded to my other post! I received a ton of replies, and I'm quite sick with a nasty ear infection. Blargh. Sorry for the delay.
