The twelfth cycle of America's Next Top Model premiered on March 4, 2009, and was the sixth season to air on The CW network. The cycle's catchphrase was "Get in the Fold." The cycle's promotional song was Lady Gaga's "The Fame."
The prizes for this cycle were:
- A modelling contract with Elite Model Management.
- A fashion spread and cover in Seventeen.
- A US$100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics.
The first half of the cycle took place in New York City; the prior season was located in Los Angeles. The international destination for this cycle was São Paulo, Brazil, the show's first and only visit to South America.
The number of girls was reduced to thirteen for the first time since Cycle 9, after being maintained at fourteen in the last two cycles. This was the last time Paulina Porizkova participated as judge.
It was the first season that the last contestant to be eliminated has no first call-out.
The winner was 20-year-old Teyona Anderson from New Jersey, with Allison Harvard placing as the runner up. This season averaged 4.35 million viewers per episode.
