Top Model International: All-Stars (cycle 3)

***Top Model International: All-Stars, Cycle 3*** (often abbreviated as **TMI: AS3**)featured 10 contestants from previous cycles of the show. The finalists for all-stars were revealed a month after the finale of cycle 14 aired. Each day for ten days, one finalist was revealed until the entire cast was known.

Once again, Lena Kiefer hosted All-Stars. Vera Jung, previous host of **Top Model International** was one of the judges on the panel, as well as winner of cycle 7 of the show, Liana Donaldson.

The winner of this cycle was 20 year-old **Djeneba Gnounga** from  Burkina Faso, who previously placed 3rd/4th on Cycle 14.

## Prizes

The prizes for this cycle of all-stars consisted of:

* A 5-year modeling contract with IMG Models New York
* A worldwide campaign and position as a spokesperson for Maybelline New York
* A cover and six-page spread in *Vogue Italia*
* A cover and feature in *Glamour*
* A cash prize of USD $250,000 in the winning model's currency

## Format

The prizes for All-Stars included another magazine cover, a spokesperson opportunity, more money and a longer modeling contract. Additionally, as opposed to a call-out order each week the show followed a format based on *RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars*. There will be two winners for each best photo, one wins the photo battle and one loses. The winner of the photo battle gets to eliminate one of the contestants who are up for elimination.

Host Lena Kiefer and the judges decide on the top two, and the bottom two or three of each battle. However, who is eliminated is decided by the winner of the photo battle.
