Austria's Next Topmodel season 1

Austria's Next Topmodel, season 1 was the first season of the Austrian reality documentary based on Tyra Banks America's Next Top Model.

The host of the show was Lena Gercke, the first winner of GNTM who is also the first winner of a Top Model franchise that later becomes a host of another Top Model show. The jury consisted of the head of Vienna-based agency Wiener Models Andrea Weidler and Dutch-born runway coach Alamande Belfor.

The show caused some controversy, as it was discovered that Tamara Puljarevic, one of the contestants, applied under her father's surname to hide her identity of being the daughter of Svetlana Puljarevic, who is the executive chief of Miss magazine, on whose cover the winner would eventually be featured. She eventually made it to the 2nd runner-up-position but was ultimately surpassed by 16-year-old Larissa Marolt, who was named the first Austria's Next Topmodel and went on to compete on the fourth season of Germany's Next Topmodel hosted by Heidi Klum.
