Judging Criteria – All Entries will be judged according to the following criteria (“Judging Criteria”):
- Videos/Photographs (50%) (Posing): The format is judging by selection of the best developed and best proportioned fitness competitors (male and female). The overall appearance, judged from the submitted Entry videos and photographs of the contestant shall constitute twenty-five percent (25%) of the overall judging score, and the image quality of the submitted Entry videos and photographs shall constitute an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of Sponsor’s overall judging score, for a total of fifty percent (50%) of the overall judging score.
- Video/Photograph Presentation. Front, Back and Side presentation. The video and photograph presentations should consist of competitors presenting themselves with poise, self-confidence and posture. The judges will be looking for a “total package” so any one particular favored stance emulating too much muscularity will not sway a judge’s overall decision, but will contribute to the overall “total package” look, so Competitors are urged to go beyond just their favored “muscular” poses.
