ANTM Cycle 19 is now casting!
CW just announced that the Tyra Banks modeling competition, Top Model is currently looking for aspiring models to be contestants on the show.
Tryouts for Top Model take place 2 times a year and February and March 2012 is the time to apply for cycle 19. Cycle 19 is looking for models 5’7″ and above who are 18 and older. This cycle they are also looking for plus size models that have the same height restriction which is 5’7″ and above.
Unfortunately, ANTM cycle 19 will not be accepting petite models like other cycles have done in the past. I know many girls have been asking for a petite cycle, but it does not look like 2012 will be the year of the petite model. At least not where Tyra Banks and America’s Top Model is concerned.
As always, the show has great prizes for anyone that makes it on, the girls get photoshoots galore and a makeover while on the show. The show’s winner also gets a hefty modeling contract which is said to be valued at $100,000.

Cycle 19
So far a dozen plus cities and towns have been added to the schedule and more may be added to the casting schedule as time goes on. Casting directors for the show will be traveling to many different places in the next 2 months and locales on the list are Peoria, IL; San Diego, CA; Ashland, Kentucky; Montgomery, Alabama; Columbia, South Carolina; Odessa, Texas, Lubbock, Texas; Fort Wayne, Indiana, Tallahassee, Florida, Columbus, Richmond and Portland, ME.
Looks like the casting team will spend quite some time in the South and Midwest. We are hoping that Eastern and Northern locations get added soon as there are aspiring models all over the U.S. that would love a chance to audition for Top Model 2012!
