Attention 2007 IMPC Contestants - New Prizes Announced

**EME** · 04-10-2007, 04:15 PM

Attention ALL 2007 IMPC contestants:

Due to the great turnout this year, we are adding some additional special prizes to the IMPC.

1) There will be special sculpted and engraved trophies awarded for the Most Improved Female Physique and the Most Improved Male Physique.

There will still be one Most Improved Physique Division, where the top 5 transformations ( Male or Female ) will be awarded trophies, but we are adding additional individual recognition for the top Male and Female Transformation.

Please note that in the MIP Division you are not being judged against the other competitors final physiques. The competitor with the best physique at the end wil not necessarily be the winner. In the MIP division, it's the best overall change from start to finish that wins.

2) There will be a pair of special sculpted and engraved trophies awarded to the Most Improved Couple. Since we have several couples competing together, this will be some additional fun motivation. Please note, "Couples" must be declared couples who are together on April 10th. Couples don't have to be married, but they must be together in a romantic relationship at the beginning of the competition, and remain that way throughout the competition. Please respect the spirit of this special award and leave this to the actual couples who are working together to be their best in the competition. ( Skel, you and Madman can't decide you are a couple and compete for the crown. Unless that is, you move in together and start sharing the same bed! LOL )

I will submit a request for all couples to officially present their names for consideration for this award later this week.

3) Finally, all competitors who are entered in the competiton as of April 10th, and successfully complete the competition, will receive sculpted and engraved trophies. It's our way of saying thank you for taking part and for your hard work.

Let the competition begin!

- Michael and Kendra

EME,

The word generous cannot even begin to describe how amazing of a person you are. Your good nature alone will help motivate us through the entire contest.

I think he said he was going to post more about it later in the week. Don't you worry my little sugar dove

**EME** · 04-11-2007, 06:02 PM

You don't have to do anything different for this prize.
You just submit your photos as indicated in the original rules each month.

The judging for this award will be based on the best overall transformation of both members of each couple, based on your submitted photos from the beginning to the end of the competition.

I just need to get a definitive list this week of who our couples are, because both members of each couple must have submitted their pics by the entry deadline yesterday, and both must make it all the way through to the final pic submission and be eligible at the end ( not missing more than three pic submissions ).

Note, missed pic submissions will affect this judging just like it affects all other competitors, so be sure to get both your pics in, on time, every month!

Know that you can make it happen. Visualize it happening. Your body will have no choice but to follow. It's not enough to think it; you have to live it. Feel it. If success is not your objective, it's OK to go ahead and quit when things get tough. But if you truly want this, you'll never give up. Always do the best you can and never lose faith in yourself.
