Any photographs that, in the sole discretion of the Promoters, are considered to be pornographic, vulgar or obscene, or appear to have been digitally altered, will be rejected. Additionally, all photos must conform to the BodySpace Photo Guidelines. Any photos deemed not acceptable for BodySpace will be removed without further notification.

All photos must be in JPEG format (and with a file extension of ".jpg"). Please be sure to retain the original photographs, as Finalists may be required to submit the required Photographs in greater resolution. The Promoters reserve the right to contact a person who has entered the Competition ("Entrant") to request resubmission of one or more of the required Photographs, and/or to request that the Entrant submit additional photos, if in Promoter's sole discretion there are problems with the Entrant's initial submission of such required Photographs, or if there are other questions or problems with such entry.

While Entrants may have assistance in entering data and uploading the photos, each Entrant must otherwise complete the entry form him/her self. Any entries submitted by anyone other than the person appearing in the required Photographs (including but not limited to entries submitted by modeling agencies) will be rejected. As set forth in greater detail below, submission of photographs and entry in the Competition constitutes consent to use the required Photographs on the Website, and/or associated or otherwise-affiliated websites.

Photo Requirements:

Entrants must provide at least three (3) photos taken with a current newspaper (full body front, full body back and headshot) to be entered into the contest. The photos must have been taken within the time frame of May 1, 2011 up and until May 20, 2011.

Any images that include nudity will be rejected. Since this is a BodySpace contest, all submitted photos must be in accordance with the BodySpace Photo Guidelines . The Entrant must own the copyright to the photos, or the Entrant will be required to have the copyright owner (a professional photographer, for example) complete a Copyright Release. Promoter can tell Entrant how to get a Copyright Release if needed (Entrant must contact Promoter). Also, the copyright owner will not receive any sort of byline, photographer recognition or payment from the Promoters or Sponsor.

Preliminary Judging: Commencing on or about May 21, 2011, and concluding on May 22, 2011, 11:59:59 PM Pacific Standard Time. At the conclusion of the Judging Period, the Promoters shall determine, at their sole discretion, the ten (10) male Entrants and ten (10) female Entrants qualifying to be finalists in the final competition. The judges will be looking for those who display balance and shape, overall muscle tone, stage presence, and a marketable 'fitness model' look.

In the event that any Entrant is determined to be ineligible or withdraws from the Competition after the conclusion of the voting round, they will be disqualified and the Promoters shall have the right, but not the obligation, to substitute the Entrant that received the next highest amount of votes during the voting round to replace such person. Potential Finalists will be contacted via e-mail or telephone.

Potential Finalists must respond to such contact within forty-eight (48) hours (or such longer period as shall be determined at sole discretion of the Promoter), confirming that they will be able to attend The Bodybuilding.com FIT BODY Competition at The Knitting Factory on June 11, 2011 in Boise, Idaho. (Contestants are responsible for their own travel.) Any Potential Finalist who does not respond, or who is unable to attend the Competition, will be disqualified, and another Potential Finalist may be chosen.

Potential Finalists may also be required to return additional documentation, affidavits, or releases as may be required by the Promoters, and if such documentation is not received by the designated date or if the documentation submitted is deemed to be, in the Promoter's sole determination, incomplete, erroneous or misleading, such Potential Finalist will be ineligible to participate in the remainder of the Competition.

Finalists may be required to re-submit the required Photographs in a different format, including but not limited to a high-resolution JPEG file or photographic print, or, at the sole discretion of the Promoter, may be required to submit additional photographs. Any Finalist who is unable to submit photographs that, at the sole discretion of the Promoter, are suitable for publication on the Website shall be disqualified.

Failure to comply with these requirements, or inability to contact the Potential Finalists at the e-mail address and/or telephone number provided for more than forty-eight (48) hours occurring during May 22 - 24, 2011, will result in ineligibility of Finalist. The finalists will be announced publicly on May 25, 2011.
