Austria's Next Topmodel, season 5 was the fifth season of the Austrian reality documentary based on Tyra Banks America's Next Top Model.

Having the entire panel of judges replaced, Austrian-born international fashion model Melanie Scheriau became the new host and was joined by runway-model and former Lagerfeld-muse Carmen Kreuzer, who was also the casting director for the season, and Rolf Scheider, who was already a judge during the third and fourth season of Germany's Next Topmodel.

Instead the final 20 contestants arrived in a military bootcamp and were then taken to Egypt, where at the end of the first episode, the cast of the top 15 was selected.

As her prizes, she received a contract with Vienna-based modeling agency Wiener Models, a cover of Austrian Woman magazine, a position as the face of Hervis sportwear, a cruise trip for two courtesy of AIDA Cruises and a SEAT León.
