American Girl's Next Doll Model (typically abbreviated to AGNDM) is a photography competition created by foreveranddollways. It has had 7 cycles so far with 12 contestants per cycle.
Process
To enter the competition, you have to submit a photo of your doll. Heart then chooses the 12 best photos to be the 12 contestants. Each week, the contestants are given a theme, and have to submit a photo that goes with the theme. A contestant is eliminated each week as well; sometimes double eliminations occur, but are much less frequent.

*AGNDM contestants are based on Instagram accounts, since that was how Heart contacted them up until Cycle 7; many of them also have YouTube channels, which will be linked if applicable.
Impact
AGNDM brought about a second wave of photo contests to AGTube. Photo contests had been popular on Old AGTube, but practically died out by 2014. Heart's influence as a popular AGTuber and AGNDM's overall popularity brought back photo contests in full force. Now, many AGTubers host their own photo contests, and some are even hosted on Instagram.
