Men's and Women's Transformation: Non-Sanctioned Division
(Cannot Turn Pro in Division)
 
The Transformation Division will showcase athletes who have made a physical transformation resulting in fat loss and/or muscle gain. It will be comprised of two parts: 
 
● Before/After Photos 
● Stage Comparisons 
 
You will take your “Before” photos at the start of your program and submit them during the registration window, per the show’s deadline. Your “After” Photos will be taken AT CHECK IN the day prior to the show. On “Before” photos, you must include a newspaper with a readable headline and date to authenticate the date of the photo. The Date on that photo must be within 7 days of the day you register for the division within the registration window.
Front and Back relaxed poses are REQUIRED for the “before” photos submission at the time of registration. Judging will be based on the most dramatic change. Gym shorts/trunks for men, and sports bra/gym shorts for women. The “Before” photos must include your thighs at minimum, but insure that we can see your whole body clearly. Minimal distractions in the back drop and plenty of lighting. 
Photo will be a digital submission, so Polaroids or photo negatives will not be accepted. 
***IF BEFORE PHOTOS ARE NOT RECEIVED DURING REGISTRATION, YOU WILL RECEIVE LAST PLACE AT SHOW DAY AS JUDGES WILL NOT HAVE COMPARISON PHOTOS TO JUDGE
 
You will be asked to submit your starting weight, but please note this will only partially be used in judging. It’s recommended to keep track of your measurements, (abdomen circumference, BF, etc), but they will not be part of the judging criteria. You will be able to include the measurements in your end Bio. Your weight will be checked at check-ins the day prior to the show. 
 
Judging: 
● Before and After Photos 
● Stage Comparisons and Stage Presence 
 
We will be judging based on how dramatic the transformation was, the symmetry of your physique, and the change in your muscularity.
