Individual walks and posing will occur immediately following judges scoring.

Top 5 competitors will begin their walk as they are introduced by the emcee. Athletes will walk from stage right to stage left (as you’re facing the audience). On the right side of the stage athletes strike a 2 second right side pose. Athletes then transition to the front middle X for a front, back, and front pose. Athletes will then walk to the left side of the stage to strike a left side pose and then exit the stage. Bikini, Figure, and Men’s Physique athletes please see the diagrams below.
