The seventeenth season of Germany's Next Topmodel[1] aired on ProSieben from February to May 2022.
The winner of this season was 18-year-old Lou-Anne Gleißenebner-Teskey from Klosterneuburg, Austria, who is notably the first model in Top Model history to compete with her mother. Her prizes include a cover and spread in the German edition of Harper's Bazaar, a €100,000 cash prize, and a campaign with MAC Cosmetics.
The international destinations of this cycle are Athens, Mykonos, Los Angeles and Ibiza. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, this season is filmed under strict COVID-19 regulations like travel restrictions. Nevertheless, this was the first cycle to film abroad since the fifteenth cycle since the previous cycle was filmed entirely in Germany.[2]
This is the first season where the maximum age limit was removed, allowing contestants of all ages (lowest age limit still being 18) to enter the contest.
