Austria's Next Topmodel – Boys & Girls (stylized as Austria's Next Topmodel boysןɹıƃ), the sixth season of Austria's Next Topmodel, aired from September to December 2014. Model Melanie Scheriau returned to present the series for a second season, while panelists Carmen Kreuzer and Rolf Scheider were replaced by male models Papis Loveday and Michael Urban. Two major changes were made to the series' format for the season: as on America's Next Top Model, the series featured both female and male contestants, and a public voting system was implemented. Bianca Schwarzjirg equaled the role of Bryanboy on America's Next Top Model, retrieving and delivering the results of the public vote. Also a mentor to the contestants was season 1 winner Larissa Marolt.
Parts of the season were filmed in Nicosia, Milan, London and Berlin. The winner of the competition was 19-year-old Oliver Stummvoll from Böheimkirchen. As his prizes, he received a contract with Vienna-based modeling agency Wiener Models, a cover of German GQ magazine, a position as the face of Prinzenzauber jewellery and a Ford Fiesta. Stummvoll was the first male winner of the Top Model franchise.
Format change Much like its American counterpart, the social media scoring system was also implemented this season. In contrast to the American adaptation however, each voter is required to cast their votes via Facebook. Furthermore, there is no grading scale. Each Facebook account is allotted three votes, which can be spent on any combination of contestants. The contestant with the highest number of votes each round is granted immunity, while the contestant with the lowest amount is automatically nominated for elimination along with three other contestants chosen by the judges.
