America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks is looking for ‘fiercely real’ teens to break the traditional model look. The talk show host is launching a search for plus-sized teens between ages 13 and 19 to put in the spotlight and show the world what they’ve got.

“I’ve always felt it was my mission to expand the narrow perceptions of beauty,” says Banks via a statement to Us magazine.  The top model went on to say that she has always tried to “challenge industry and universal standards” by “celebrating non-traditional beauty” and stressing the importance of inner beauty.

The winner will win a modeling contract, a fashion shoot of their own and a chance to change people’s perceptions of what beautiful is all about.
