A Honolulu native is among the 14 finalists vying for the title "America's Next Top Model," a competition and reality show that returns for its newest season, 7 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 3 on the CW network, Ocean digital channel 93.

The competitor known only as Sheena — whose last name is being withheld by the network — is a 21-year-old hostess and go-go dancer living in Harlem, NY.

Each week, Sheena will compete against other aspiring models from across the country while being mentored by super model Tyra Banks, art director of photo shoots Jay Manuel and runway guru J. Alexander.

The grand prize package includes a $100,000 contract with cosmetics company CoverGirl and a fashion spread in Seventeen magazine.
