The official start date of the next Adonis Index Transformation contest is Wed May 11th 2011.
As with the previous contests we’re always trying to make them a bit better each time so we’ve made a few changes to the structure and format.
Who can enter:
Anyone who is an Adonis Index customer can enter this contest except for those who placed in the top three in their respective category in our previous open contest. Placing in the top 3 in our previous open contest qualifies you for our annual level 2 competition that will be held in April 2012. There will be more details about the level 2 competition in the months to come.
Similar to the last contest there are going to be cash prizes for the top 1-6 in the transformation which is judged on total change combined with best final look, total change in AI, how much you changed overall and how close your are to your true golden ratio.
The new twist is that you automatically qualify for the open contest as well, so this gives everyone double the chance to win. The open contest will no longer have age categories but rather we will give prizes for the top 1-6 in the open category as well.
If you think you already look pretty good and want to enter the contest, but you’re not sure you’ve got a big enough ‘transformation’ to make, go ahead and submit your before and after pictures anyway. The judging panel will automatically bump you up to the ‘open’ contest if you’re final look is good but your total transformation isn’t as big as other people who have farther to go. This is the easiest way for us to award as many prizes as possible to everyone who wants to enter.
There are cash prizes for places 1-6 in transformation and 1-6 in open (we’ve eliminated the age categories for the open category)
Entry into the transformation contest automatically enters you into the open as well.
Prize money for both categories of transformation and open are as follows:
1st Place – $500
2nd Place – $350
3rd Place – $250
4th Place – $200
5th Place – $200
6th Place – $200
Submitting Before Pictures:
“Before” pictures must be submitted by all contestants at the beginning of the contest to me at my email address johnbarban at gmail (dot) com
“Before” pictures required: standard front, back and side shots, standing relaxed with hands at your side, and at least one extra picture in the grouping with the current days newspaper (while you’re in the same position and wearing the same shorts so we can verify the date you took the pics). Find a spot in your house with a clear background or hang a plain sheet up behind you so you’re standing in front of a plain background.
Make sure the cover of the newspaper is visible and also include a close up pic of the news paper as well.
Name each before picture file according to the pose with your name and the word ‘before’ ex: name_before_side
The earliest you can submit a before pictures is on May 11th, every day you wait after this day is one more day of transformation that you are losing compared to others who have submitting on May 11th. I’ll be accepting before pictures until the following wednesday May 18th (however I strongly advise you take them and send them on May 11th). So even if you take them on May 11th you have until May 18th to send them in to me.
You must also submit a document with your before statistics including:
Age, Height, Waist measurement, Shoulder measurement, current Adonis Index Ratio.
Send all materials in a zip file.
All contestants must submit before pictures and statistics as stated above no matter if you feel you’ll end up in the open category or in the transformation category. The judges will decide which category you will end up in.
Your pictures will remain on my personal drive and will not be used or viewed by anyone for any purpose. If you choose not to complete the contest or have to bow out for any reason your pictures will never be used, viewed or posted for any reason whatsoever.
The rest of this post the the legal mumbo jumbo about privacy and the legal right to photo’s etc. This is the same stuff as the previous four contests.
