America's Next Top Model is back for its tenth round, starting in New York City on Wednesday, February 20. Fourteen young women, hoping their aspirations come to fruition, compete for the title of "America's Next Top Model".

Supermodel Paulina Porizkova will be joining the judging panel this season for another drama-filled cycle of modeling that never seems to get old.

Unfamiliar with America's Next Top Model? Here's the scoop - these fourteen women will be living together vying for the grand prize of a $100,000 contract with cosmetic giant CoverGirl, to be managed by Elite Model Management, and to appear on the cover and in the six-page fashion spread of Seventeen magazine.

Each week the pool of women goes down by one until only one remains. These women are tested each week to master the runway, to pose for the best shots at fashion photo shoots, learn the intricacies of publicity and business to perfection, all while being put under 24-hour-a-day surveillance. Those that don't make the cut get cut, their dreams dashed as the remaining women get higher hopes of victory.

Tyra Banks hosts the show, mentors the participants, and is the lead panel judger of America's Next Top Model. Others on the judging panel beside Tyra Banks and Paulina Porizkova include the guru J. Alexander, photographer Nigel Barker, and other special guests who will critique the participants within his or her area of expertise.

The CW premiers the season on February 20 at 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET—watch and guess who will be the top "model".
