Award Submission – Rules & Regulations
The judges will be chosen by the promoters from various provinces and judged 3 days in advance prior to the event on Sept 30th, 2023. They will evaluate final entries based on the following factors; weight loss, muscle gain, shape & symmetry and presentation. The judges will need to see these changes in the pictures so it’s important that both before and after pictures are in focus and taken at appropriate angles and with good lighting. Take the time to use a camera with a timer or have someone with a steady hand take the pictures. No selfies please! Clothing for contest pictures: a two piece bikini for the ladies or tanktini crop top and tight fitting shorts or posing trunks/board shorts for the men. Just remember we’re trying to judge overall change, if you hide your body in these pictures it might work against you and make it difficult for the judges to see how your body has changed.
PHOTO REQUIREMENTS (HIGH RESOLUTION – HIGH QUALITY):
There are 4 required pictures required after the registration open date (May 27th 2023). We highly recommend that you get your photos submitted as soon as possible – the earlier you send the photos, the better the chances of the best body weight loss transformation.
After your 16 week journey to a new you, a second set of 4 required pictures must be submitted no later than June 30th but the sooner the better – the most dramatic transformation.
1) Front – Facing camera with arms at your side
2) Back – Facing away from the camera, with your arms at your side
3) Side – 90 degrees to the camera with your arms at your side
4) Front (Newspaper) shot – Facing camera with one arm at your side and other arm holding a current newspaper visibly showing the date. This should be a current issue of the national or local newspaper in order to validate the day you took the picture. You need to take a picture in this same group of pictures with the current day’s newspaper in your hand and the front page visible, or use a legitimate datestamp to prove your before photos are legit.
The pictures need to be full body head to toe. It is very important that for your front, side, and back poses your arms are down at your sides but not covering your waist and that they are full body head to toe pictures. Do not crop out your face or your feet.
