When can I submit my entry?

How does the nomination process work?

What’s required in my submission?

All submissions must be made in English. However, if English isn’t your first language, this will be taken into account in the judging. We’ll still be able to see you shine!

Can I film my video anywhere?

Your video can be filmed anywhere - audio and the coaching need to be clear so that the judges can assess the video properly. However, we recommend that you film at your local gym.
