A GUIDE FOR NEW COMPETITORS

Congratulations on making the decision to be a competitor! It can be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of your life!

To assist you in starting the process of competing, here are some helpful things for you to know.

PICK YOUR CATEGORY

Knowing what category you want to compete in is crucial as all of them have different criteria. We have physique categories, modeling categories, transformation challenges and obstacle course challenges

Your prep for your category will be very specific so it is best to know where you're headed so you can create your map for success!

Accommodations, Travel

If you are coming in from out of town, be sure to book your travel early. REAL makes every effort to provide a host hotel in order to provide our competitors cheap room rates

Services

Tanning - Every competitor besides Transformation Challenge, REAL Deal and REAL Beauty require a competition tan. A competition tan is a sprayed on tan specifically made to endure the hot competition lights. REAL is partnered with Liquid Sun Rayz (www.liquidsunrayz.com) to provide our competitors with a great service at great prices.

Photography - There will be many photographers onsite. They will require a press pass so be aware of who the credible professionals are. REAL will provide a photographer to take backstage and onstage photos which will be available for purchase.

Depending on the photographer, you may be able to pre-purchase photography packages
