}}Hrvatski Top Model ({{langx|en|Croatia's Top Model|italics=yes}}) is a Croatian reality television series based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. It premiered on RTL on 8 March 2008 and ran for two seasons. The show pits contestants against each other in a variety of competitions to determine the winner of the title of the new Croatian "Top Model", as well as a modelling contract with an agency in hopes of a promising career start in the modeling industry.

Production

In its appearance, tasks, editing and elimination process, Hrvatski Top Model is much more similar to Germany's Next Topmodel rather than ANTM. This version has a runway walk in front of the judges, each contestant faces her verdict individually without any particular order, and its contestants travel to more than one international destination in one season. Also, a pre-recorded final show held in a TV studio where the ranking order between the final three contestants is decided, and every finalist is involved in a final runway.

Croatian top model Tatjana Jurić fills the role of the host, which was performed by Tyra Banks in the original American series. She is the head of the search as well as a mentor for the 16 girls who have been chosen to live in a house together in Zagreb. Jurić and the panel of judges, which includes Borut Mihalić, Boris Bašić, Damir Hoyka, Boris Cavlina Jurić and a top model Paula Eleta Barišić judge the girls each week.{{cite web|url=https://www.index.hr/magazin/clanak/hrvatski-top-model-ostao-bez-pravog-top-modela/375404.aspx|title="Hrvatski top model" ostao bez pravog top modela|publisher=Index.hr|date=21 February 2008|language=hr}} Usually one, but sometimes two girls are eliminated until only three girls are left.

Croatian fashion designer Marco Grubnić had several appearances on the first season to introduce the girls to the fashion industry and give them constructive criticism.
