Fo, 'America's Next Top Model 12'

Can London take the fashion world by storm? Or will the intriguingly named Fo or Aminat become a household name? Yes, it's another crop of leggy beauties on "America's Next Top Model."

The CW announced Wednesday (Jan. 28) the 13 lucky contestants take to the catwalk as the competitors on the 12th cycle of "America's Next Top Model," which will premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Among the supermodel wannabes are non-profit organizer Kortnie, who is ancient by the show's standards at 24, New Orleans artist Allison and several students who have put their academic career on hold to pursue their runway dreams.

The winner of the competition will win management by Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl and a cover and six-page spread in Seventeen magazine.

As always, Tyra Banks will be the host/mentor/mail carrier as well as sit on the judging panel with supermodel Paulina Porizkova, photographer Nigel Barker and runway expert J. Alexander. Jan Manuel will return as the director of photo shoots.
