Danmarks Næste Topmodel, Cycle 5 is the second individual Cycle of the show. The judging panel, consisting of Caroline Fleming, Uffe Buchard and Jacqueline Friis-Mikkelsen remained the same for the second Cycle in a row. The final cast was increased up to 15. Like in the final episode of Cycle 1, the call out order at the elimination process is now random and every girl learns her verdict indidivually whether she makes it to the next round or not. This format has been adapted from Germany's Next Topmodel. To the surprise of many, Julie S. Hasselby was crowned the winner of the Cycle. In the US it was pointed out that she was the second homosexual winner of the international franchise.
