Cycle 13 of AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL offers the aspiring women a chance to prove they have what it takes to make it in the high-stress world of modeling as they compete for a contract with Wilhelmina Models, a Seventeen Magazine cover and fashion spread, and a $100,000 deal with CoverGirl cosmetics. From Los Angeles to Hawaii, the young women faced a range of modeling challenges: they pose on horseback nude, strike a pose while hanging from wires in a martial-arts themed assignment, and while in Hawaii, learn hip-hop hula moves to channel Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanoes. 1
