Props are allowed but must be approved by Fitness Britain officials at least 2 weeks in advance of the performance. Routines may not exceed two minutes and once begun cannot be repeated. Fitness Universe Pageant events are known as world class stage events. This reputation is earned, in part, due to state-of-art audio systems at our venues. It is recommended that you take advantage of this available technology by having your music edited and dubbed by an audio technician. Only CD-R disc music will be accepted (do not use CD-RW discs). Music may NOT be provided on cassette. Swimsuit Round - 50% of Score - Poise and Presence - 25%

Judges will analyze body shape, tone, symmetry, complexion, poise, presentation and overall condition. Also, they will be looking for fit, toned, feminine bodies that display proper conditioning. However, the Fitness Universe Pageant Series are not bodybuilding events or associated with any bodybuilding organization. Therefore, physical definition and excessive muscular development will be penalized. G-string or thong type swimsuits are not allowed. Contestants will be judged individually and in group comparisons. All contestants will be required to perform a “T” Walk style presentation in all 3 of the following competition rounds. In “T” Walk, they will stop at four separate locations to present their personality and physique to the judges. When emerging from the wings, they will first stop at the center back portion of the stage. At this spot they should pick their favorite pose to hit for the judges (front, side, back). They will then walk to the center front of the stage and hit their two favorite poses. Some choose to do front and back, front and side, or side and back. Any variation will be fine, but the competitor should select the poses that are strongest for their body and display of clothing. After the center front position, they will proceed either to the right or left side of the stage for their next stop, then across the stage to the opposite side for their last stop. In each of those positions, the competitor should again hit their two best poses. Please remember that when the term “pose” is used, it is NOT referring to bodybuilding mandatory poses. Model Britain is not a bodybuilding competition or affiliated with any bodybuilding organization. After they complete their last set of poses, they will proceed off-stage until the entire class is finished. House music will be provided for the swimsuit round. Competitors do NOT need to bring their own.
