Tuyet Lan was the competition’s winner.

She expressed her surprise and happiness after the competition. “Becoming the runner-up of the Vietnam’s Next Top Model has surely enhanced my confidence, though I was still nervous in this competition. I saw many wonderful models from other countries,” she said.

“I’m really surprised at my victory. I’m very happy and my heart is beating strongly right now. I didn’t expect that I would pass all other models”.

The Asian Model Talent Search awarded its winner a US$10,000 cash prize and a chance to be trained as an international model.
