I was hoping to enter this event as a competitor, but the link does not seem to be working. Is registration closed, or has it not been opened yet?

I am trying to apply for my membership card and it won't let me submit the form. This is on the NANBF website. I also tried to send them a message and it said I could not submit it.

Thanks for reaching out Chelsea. The NANBF membership site has been down for maintenance, we hope that it is up and running again on 1/14/19.

Is the pro tan something we do on our own or is it provided? I know some professional events provided tanning services, but was curious if you guys did or not. (Didnt see a tanning service in the sponsors so I was curious)
Ryan Irwin

Great question Trevor. Yes, spray tanning services will be available. They will be set up at the host hotel and onsite at the event. Book your spots early to get your preferred appointment time.

How do you reserve an appointment for Pro Tan?
Ryan Irwin

James, when you enter, you should get an auto-response email with information on how to set up a spray tan appointment. Let us know if you didn't receive it, thanks!

I read that we will be polygraphed three days ahead of time???? If I am coming in on Friday night from Mpls, how could that work? I am 60 and want to compete in the over 50. Never did a drug in my life!

Hi Mark, Those that are coming in from out-of-town will polygraph on Friday. When you enter, you will be directed to select that day based on your address.

It says Wednesday May 3rd is the Registration Cut off, but May 3rd is on Fri. I just wanted to verify the cut off date. Thank you!!
Ryan Irwin

I’m competing in Classic Physique Novice. What are the poses for Classic Physique this year?
Ryan Irwin
March 12th, 2019 20:17
See link here: https://naturaliowamuscle.com/nanbf-classic-physique-criteria-guidelines/ Classic physique competitors should also be prepared to do traditional bodybuilding poses as they are optional poses as well.

Hi Ryan, would you please confirm what the host hotel is? I think I heard West Des Moines Marriott, but I noticed the Downtown Marriott is much closer to Hoyt Sherman Place. Would you also please advise on how to book my spray tan? Thank you!
Ryan Irwin
March 26th, 2019 15:01
Hi Annie! It is the West Des Moines Marriott (their facilities are better suited to handle a bodybuilding competition with check-in, spray tan, polygraphing and after party. There should be a link with your entry confirmation to schedule the tanning. Thanks for reaching out!

What are the posing guidelines for physique?
Ryan Irwin
March 28th, 2019 14:29
Luke, see here for Classic: https://www.nanbf.net/classic-physique Let me know if you are referring to a different category?
Luke

Just normal physique, will it be 3 qtr turns or just front and back?
Ryan Irwin
April 5th, 2019 16:34
Men's physique will be quarter turns. Let us know if you have any other questions, thanks!
Rikki
April 8th, 2019 9:41
On the figure T-Walk is it 2 or 1 pose per spot? I thought it was just one pose for a total of 3 poses but reading on https://www.nanbf.net/figure it's two poses per spot for a total of 6 poses. It also said to not do bodybuilding poses, so just trying to figure out what posing to do so I'm practicing the right thing. Also will you be hosting another posing clinic before this show?

I confirmed a polygraph appointment. I decided to compete in a show two weeks before this one. I will STILL BE COMPETING HERE. How do I cancel my polygraph appointment?
Ryan Irwin
April 16th, 2019 13:22
Scott, Great question. If it is an NANBF contest (Southern States I assume) then yes, you would just polygraph there and cancel the one scheduled at Iowa. You should be able to click on the link that you scheduled it and cancel. Otherwise, send an email to naturaliowainfo@gmail.com letting us know you canceled. Thank you

I have a question. This is my first bodybuilding contest. Do we have to pay for tanning and the polygraph test.
