Benelux' Next Top Model Cycle 1 Start This Year!

Benelux' Next Top Model was a Dutch-language reality television show that aired in Belgium and the Netherlands. The show was a merge between Holland's Next Top Model, and the Belgian television series Topmodel. The first season premiered in September 2009, and was hosted by Dutch writer and former model Daphne Deckers. Despite the Benelux reference in the title, the program was not broadcast in Luxembourg or Wallonia.

Given the show was a merge between Holland's Next Top Model and the Belgian Topmodel which both follow the same format, the panel of judges, as well as the contestants, were representing both nations for one-half.The prizes were a €75,000 contract with Modelmasters The Agency, a cover of Beau Monde and ad campaigns for Max Factor and Gillette Venus Embrace.
