INBA Australia have created another wonderful innovation in the sport; an event designed solely for those who are just beginning in the sport and those who have limited experience or genetics. The show is for Novice (never competed) and Rookie (competed in 1-3 contests) competitors. Our core aim is to provide competitors with a thoroughly enjoyable contest experience; which makes them enthusiastic and competitive so they can continue in the sport and if you are a Novice competitor this time – the event stays alive as you can come back the following year as a Rookie. The concept offers competitors the opportunity to enjoy the contest limelight - regardless of your modest experience, short training preparation or genetic potential. It allows newbies a ‘fair crack’ without fear of standing next to a seasoned competitor. For Trainers, it provides a contest-level which offers clients a less-intimidating competition environment for them to ‘set the ultimate goal’ and put their hard work, dieting, transformation and such to the ultimate challenge of stepping on stage and putting their work on show to their family and friends. The first Novice Rising Star and Rookie of the Year Championships will be held in Melbourne at the Glen Eira Auditorium on Saturday April 30th. Entry forms will be online within 10 days with full event information.
