The 20 contestants selected will gather to live together in an apartment in HCM City so that all their daily activities can be filmed.
The reality show is set for broadcast on Vietnam Television's VTV3 channel.
"There have been many model competitions in Vietnam , but they've been pretty much the same," production company spokesperson Le Thi Quynh Trang told Vietnam News, "We realised that America 's Next Top Model was an ideal programme to focus on a modern approach to training and managing models in Vietnam ."
Trang said that Vietnam 's Next Top Model will maintain the original format while changing some details to adapt Vietnamese culture.
For example, posing for nude photos would not be included in the Vietnamese edition despite it being a compulsory part of the show in the US , she said.
Trang further explained that the reality show would reveal everything about the contestants, including their habits and bad behaviour, whittling down the entrants until the final winning model was chosen.
Trang said that the company had short listed some names to take on Tyra Banks' role as MC in the original programme.
The programme will be aired on VTV3 at 8pm every Thursday from September 30.
The Top Model will appear on the cover of Fashion TV's F Magazine and sign an exclusive two year contract with a professional model company worth 50,000 USD. The winner will also receive a scholarship for a model training course in the US and other bonuses and benefits.
Young males and females between 18 and 25, who are over 1.65m (5'5"), in height, are eligible to attend. Potential candidates can visit www. vietnamnexttopmodel.com./.
