Benelux' Next Top Model, Cycle 1 was the first cycle of Benelux' Next Top Model and the first season which include Dutch and Flemish contestants. It premiered on September 14, 2009 and lasted until November 16 of the same year.
Given the show was a merge between Holland's Next Top Model and the Belgian Topmodel which both follow the same format, the panel of judges as well as the contestants were representing both nations for one half.
Dutch Rosalinde Kikstra won a $75,000 contract with MTA Models and a cover on an eminent fashion magazine.[1]
