OCB Body
Transformation Challenge
Eligibility
OCB Body Transformation Challenges are open to all persons who
do not use performance-enhancing substances (meet the OCB Drug
Testing guidelines) and who have never competed in a
Bodybuilding, Figure, Fitness or Fitness Modeling competition.
Guidelines
Before
& After Photos
Participants furnish a full-body photo of their front, side and
back views from both the first and last days of their Challenge
period. A USA Today newspaper is held showing the front page and
date in the front photos. A close-up photo of the same front
covers of the newspapers is also furnished to ease
identification of paper dates.
Clothing
The same type of clothing should be worn for the “before” and
“after” photos. Swimsuits, shorts, or exercise clothes are
preferred. Keep in mind if parts of the body are covered it will
be difficult to show progress made.
Photos
-
Take the
photos from as close up as possible while capturing the
whole body from head to toe.
-
Arms should be
straight down by sides for photos (no posing!).
-
Professional
photographs are not required but keep in mind quality photos
are essential for clearly showing transformations.
-
Photos
supplied should be either 3.5” x 5” or 4” x 6” in size.
Essay
Participants provide a brief essay about how they were impacted
by the transformation challenge.
Helpful Tips for Essays

some of the thoughts and feelings experienced throughout the
transformation and use the information to help create

heart, as though you were sharing your story with a friend.
-
Submit a
printout of the essay with the entry journal and email a
copy of the essay to

Scoring
Judges will review and study each entrant’s completed Entry
Journal. Each judge assigns a score from 1-80 for the Before &
After section of the Entry Journal based on overall progress,
and from 1-20 for the Essay section, for a possible total of 100
points for each judge. The sum of all the judges’ scores is the
total score for a participant. The contestant with the highest
score is awarded first place. Second highest score is awarded
second place, and so on.
