The tenth season of America's Next Top Model was the fourth of the series to air on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of the cycle is "New Faces, New Attitude, New York". The promotional song was "Feedback" by Janet Jackson.

A few major changes were made this season. The show was moved back to New York, after being housed in Los Angeles since cycle 4. The number of contestants was also increased to 14, after being maintained at 13 since cycle 5. Finally, the judging panel, unchanged since cycle 5, was also altered; Twiggy was replaced by model Paulina Porizkova due to the former's scheduling conflicts.

The prizes for this cycle were:

A modeling contract with Elite Model Management A fashion spread and cover in Seventeen A 100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics

The international destination for this cycle was Rome, Italy, the franchises' second of three visits to Italy throughout the current seasons.

The winner of the competition was 20-year-old Whitney Thompson from Atlantic Beach, Florida. Thompson was the first plus-size model to win the competition. This season averaged 4.23 million viewers per episode.
