Competition Requirements:

 

Before/After Photos:

You can take your “Before” photos at the start of your program and upload them when you register.  Your “After” photos will be due April 29th 2019, one week before the competition judging date. On all your front photos, you must hold a newspaper with a readable headline to authenticate the dates of the photos.  The date of the photo (and newspaper) must be within 10 days of the date of your registration (Note: Magazines are not acceptable to verify photo dates.) You can show as much of your physique as you want. Remember that you may be judged on your dramatic change, so we must be able to see your body or at least its shape. Make sure when you take your pictures that you are as close as possible to the camera. (If your image is too small, we cannot judge your entire physique, nor can we see the newspaper headline.) If possible, have your “After” photos taken professionally. Your photos will count for 30 to 50% of a possible 100 points, so make sure they look good! Please note that Polaroid and photo negatives will not be accepted! 

 

LATE ENTRIES:   Late entries are accepted up to the end of February 2019, However, you will be judged as if you entered the competition for the full 12-weeks and will still be required to provide a before and after picture (newspaper dated) should you wish to use one.

 

Judges will mark you on the following

 

•   Your transformation stats (body mass index)

•   Your physical transformation

•   Your Supporting write-up

•   Your journey and obstacles 

•   You the person

 

 

Body Measurements:

 

Finally, keep track of your body composition measurements. You may be asked to submit your beginning stats when you register. Weight is the only required form of measurements. However, we recommend tracking your progress using circumference measurements & BF % as well. This can be done on the Live-it Machine. Whatever method you choose, be sure to stay consistent by choosing the same measurements each time, on the same day of the week around the same time of day. You will need to submit your “After” stats by April 29th, 2019. At a minimum, we will need to have a before/after weight measurement.

 

Judging Criteria:

 

Overall Transformation Stats 40%, Before and After Photos 25% to 45%. Your story (The Why) 15% to 25% plus bonus points of up to 10% for social media shares and likes on your transformation updates and images. Good Luck Guys!
