Holland's Next Top Model, Cycle 5 is the fifth cycle of Holland's Next Top Model. After two years of Benelux' Next Top Model the show returned under its original title featuring Dutch girls only. It premiered on September 5, 2011 and is currently airing. Although the show returned to screen under its old name three of the five jury members from the last season of Benelux's Next Top Model returned as did many other production crew members. Also the two winners of the show where also considered among the winners on the official website. The Cycle is therefore a successor for the Benelux' series as well as of the original Dutch one. The winner of this cycle was 20 year old Tamara Slijkhuis fron Apeldoorn, Gelderland
