A successful first attempt, the ANTM is a baby product of Nigerian supermodel, Oluchi.

It “follows supermodel hopefuls from all over the continent as they strive to prove they have what it takes to make in the cut-throat world of modeling.

“The show documents a continent-wide search to find 12 top contenders who will compete for a coveted modeling contract and a shot at the career of a lifetime.”

Over a period of several weeks, 12 lucky contestants including Ghana’s Roselyn Ashkar, were trained by some of the top-modeling experts in the world.

Contestants were evaluated on a regular basis by an elite panel of judges led by Oluchi.
