JUDGING
Presentation
- Each competitor, in numerical order, walks onstage and performs their “Model
Walk” (personal preference). - The “Model Walk” is described as follows:
Walk to the center of the stage, stop and do a front stance, then a full turn and
do a back stance, then turn to the front again and face the judges. Length of
time allowed is 30 seconds. - Depending on the number of competitors in the class, each competitor may be
directed to:
a. exit the stage until the entire class has performed the “Model Walk” at which
time the entire class is called back onstage; or
b. line up along diagonal lines on the sides of the stage.
Comparisons
- The Head Judge will call the competitors, in small groups and in numerical order, to
center stage to perform the front and back pose. - In the call-outs, the Head Judge will direct specific competitors to perform the front
and back pose. Judges will have the opportunity to compare competitors against
each other in half turns (no side judging – front and back only).
The Presentation and Comparisons are scored 100% using the following criteria:
- Balance and shape
- Overall physical appearance including complexion, skin tone, poise and
presentation.
*If necessary, the judging panel, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to re-judge at the Finals using a Confirmation round.
It is strictly forbidden to bring professional cameras or videography equipment into the venue.
