RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4 is the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, which begins airing in January 30, 2012.[1] The cast members of season four were announced November 13, 2011.[2] The winner of season four will headline Logo's Drag Race Tour featuring Absolut Vodka, wins a one-of-a-kind trip courtesy of AlandChuck.travel, a lifetime supply of NYX Cosmetics, a cash prize of $100,000, and the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar."[3]

The cash prize for season four is the largest grand prize the show has offered its contestants yet.[3] The cast of season four is also the first since season one to not feature any contestants from Atlanta after two contestants from that city were cast in both seasons two and three.[4]
