Transformation Makeover

Transformation ~Noun
A marked change in form, nature or appearance.

The WBFF has celebrated over a decade of recognising and showcasing the most glamorous physiques in the world. During this period, we have observed countless transformations that have graced the stage despite enduring remarkable hardship and personal challenges. It is from this observation and recognition of the struggles that some experience on the path to success that the Transformation Division was born.

This division offers the WBFF, and its family of athletes, the opportunity to celebrate those who are still making their way on the journey to a healthier lifestyle. They may not yet be ready for an open division (or maybe they are), but they have the chance to show the world just how far they have come.

When we think of transformation – we think of one word REMARKABLE. The physical, mental, emotional or life-changing journey that rarely leaves a dry eye in the house. To honour the division’s intention, we invite anyone with a REMARKABLE story to share. Whether it’s an illness, loss, trauma or overcoming an addiction, and the message is so powerful it moves people – then we invite you to register for the Transformation Makeover Division.

Other Information

When registering online, please clearly list the major points of your transformation journey in the Bio section of the registration page. This is what will be read out by the show MC while you are on stage performing your t-walk. Examples would be the amount of weight lost, fitness gained, health condition overcome etc.

Once registered, you are required to submit a typed bio of no more than 80 words maximum that shares your journey for our judges to review before the show, along with up to 3 good quality, high resolution BEFORE photos. These are to be submitted after you have registered and must be received before registration closes 1 week before the show date. Please note that this is for the judges to review and can go into more detail than your online Bio, which is read to the audience while you are onstage.

The morning show consists of a swimwear round. Men: square-cut shorts or swim shorts. Women: 2-piece bikini with shoes to compliment the outfit.

The evening show starts with a gala opening, with all competitors appearing on stage for a gala walk for photographers and the audience. All competitors are to wear their swimwear for the gala opening. The evening show also consists of an evening wear round.

For both morning and evening shows, you will perform a t-walk on stage.

At the show, you will be presented live on stage, where the final result of your transformation will be revealed. Your before photos will be displayed on the stage screens for the audience to view. The show MC will share your transformation journey with the audience at the live show from the information you gave at the time of registering online in the Bio section. (Please note that the show host will only read the main points from your competitor bio, not your full story for the audience at the show.)

You will be judged on your personal story and physical transformation, which is revealed on stage. Judges will read your story and review your before photos prior to the event.

Your transformation can be anywhere from recent months to several years prior.

See the Competitor Information section for more information.
