To have a chance to earn an internationally recognised WNBF Pro Card, you must register for either the Open or Masters class. For Masters, you must be over 40 years of age.

A Junior athlete will be under 23 and older than 18 on the day of the show (Australia only).

Athletes who are 23 years and 1 day old on the day of the show are not eligible to compete in the Junior class*

*If the show is postponed and you have already signed up while meeting the age requirement you may be eligible to still compete as a Junior. Contact us and we will be happy to look into your case.

Novice competitors are either first time competitors, someone who has competed and has not placed top three in an Open class (in the WNBF or in any other natural organisation)

Important*
If you win your novice class, you will not automatically roll over to the open class of the category and same show. You can only transition to an open class starting from our next event onward.

Technically, an Open class, as its name implies, is open to all athletes. However, since this class tends to be highly competitive, it is suggested (though not mandatory) that only athletes with ample experience consider joining. If you have little or no experience, we recommend registering in either the Novice or First-timer class.

The Masters class is reserved for senior athletes who are over 40 years of age.

This class is for those entering their first ever natural bodybuilding season. If you haven't competed in a previos season, you qualify as a first-timer. First-timers can only crossover to the Novice and Masters classes, not Open.

Yes, athletes can join multiple categories and classes in the same event. However, there are some rules you need to consider. These are as follows.

1.You can join multiple categories. We do this in order to allow you to determine where your physique might best fit and will make you the most successful.

For instance, male competitors are permitted to join Men's Physique and Bodybuilding, while females can join Bikini, along with Fit Body, Figure or Bodybuilding.

2.You can join multiple classes in the same category. As an example, you could join Open and Masters , or Novice and Junior in Bodybuilding.

What’s not allowed?

❌ First-timers are not allowed to crossover to any Open class.

❌ First-timers can crossover to Novice and Masters. Novice and Masters can crossover to First-timer as long as they meet the criteria for First-timer.

❌ Novice athletes cannot crossover to an Open class within the same category (e.g., Bodybuilding Novice to Bodybuilding Open). However, you can crossover to an Open class in a different category.
