Voting Open for ANTM "Guys and Girls"

"America's Next Top Model" returns this summer with its first-ever "Guys and Girls" edition, but you can get in on the action now.

Fans will have numerous opportunities each week to vote online and via mobile at http://cwtv.com/thecw/antmvoting to choose their favorite contestants based on photo shoots taken during production.  Voting begins Thursday, February 21, and continues with the following voting dates:  February 24, February 28, March 3, March 7, March 10, March 14, March 17, March 23, March 26, March 29 and April 3.  Some of the guys and girls who have already been eliminated will have the opportunity to return to the competition via votes on their photo shoot pictures, which will allow the audience the chance to save their favorite model.  This cycle, fans will also have the opportunity to automatically enter a contest when they leave video comments, during the voting, for a chance to win prizes. (See site for contest rules.)

This cycle will explore the similarities and differences that male and female models face in the pursuit of their careers.  There will be more than a little opportunity for rivalry, flirtation and romance, as eight men and eight women live under one roof and compete for the title.
