Who didn’t make it?
Not all of our Unwrapped models made it into the final. The fact that some of them are inanimate objects didn’t help. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check them out! Have a look at our full Oxfam Unwrapped range.
About the show
Oxfam Unwrapped’s Next Top Animal is the newest reality series that follows a group of ambitious animals as they try to prove they have what it takes to make it in the high-stakes world of Oxfam Unwrapped, an ingenious gift catalogue that helps fight poverty around the world.
We scoured farms all across the countryside, interviewing thousands of hopefuls, to narrow the field to just seven contestants.
During the series, these finalists were transformed from regular animals-next-door into potential Oxfam Unwrapped models, while navigating their way through a testing photo shoot (and not to mention, some backyard rivalry). The animals had to emonstrate both inner and outer beauty as they learn to master fashion shoots, styling, props and personality!
Each week the public had the chance to vote for their avourite animal, narrowing the field until Oxfam Unwrapped’s Next Top Animal was crowned!
Aside from the photo shoot, our finalists also had to deal with the ups and downs of ‘animal house’ life: all the bleats, baas, tantrums and high drama you’d expect when you put a group of competitive and hugely ambitious animals under one roof!
The winner of Oxfam Unwrapped’s Next Top Animal takes home a prize package that includes lucrative contracts for future Unwrapped work, a stunning new paddock situated at Australia’s most fashionable rural address, and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Altho’ medical costs etc have not yet allowed me to be a participant – I have thought for years that this is the most innovative way to raise money for OXFAM – I am sending this on to all the ‘receptive’ friends I can think of – and, thank you so much for making worthwhile giving SO MUCH FUN!
VOTE THE GOAT!
What a wonderful inovative campagne. Go Babe! – Sorry, got to do some shopping now…I think some presents that oink and cluck would go down well…..or perhaps a well?
