Following are descriptions of the various competitor divisions. The available divisions and classes (such as height, weight or age ranges) will vary in different events.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0If you have questions, contact the promoter shown on the QUESTIONS tab.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Athletes may compete in multiple divisions in the same event (crossovers between divisions, such as being in both Classic Physique and Men’s Physique in the same event). This is not true with FIT MODEL division, which does not permit crossovers to others like Bikini.<\/p>\n

An NPC athlete of any age or experience may compete in the open class. The OPEN is the only class that qualfies you for OPEN NATIONAL CONTESTS which often award pro cards. See each event’s website page for more info.<\/p>\n

If you want to compete in a class by age (for example, Teen, Juniors, or Masters), you must be the lowest age of the division (for example, 35 and over) on the contest day, or under the maximum age (such as 23 and under) on the contest day.<\/p>\n

Open Divisions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
