Suomen huippumalli haussa

As on the American version of the show, each episode at least one reward challenge and at least one photo shoot take place, with one contestant eliminated at the end. The elimination process follows the same format as on the American version. This includes a call-out order based on each contestant's performance, and the two worst-performing contestants in danger of elimination (bottom two). In some cases, double eliminations and non-eliminations have taken place by consensus of the judging panel. Also, as on the American version the contestants receive sporadic "Anne mail" (Annepostia or posti Annelta) with hints for upcoming challenges. Each episode a guest judge sits on the panel.

Unlike on the American version, which generally has 13 or 14 contestants, the Finnish series begins with only 11 or 12 models.

There are fewer reward challenges, or challenges with winners but no reward. In the early cycles there were more photo shoots than on the American version, usually two per episode.

The finalists do not participate in a fashion show at the end of the competition. The final decision is based solely on the contestants’ photo portfolio and overall performance during the competition.

Since cycle 6, male participants were allowed to apply introducing a co-ed edition.
