• Any previous Overall Mr/Ms Australia winner.

• Top three from each division at the Australian titles
• Won a division at a State title and did not compete in the Australian Titles.
• Won a division at an INBA International event

• Top three from each division in any Australian INBA contest.
• Special invitation from the INBA

Invitation:

To receive an INBA Invitation to compete at the Australian Titles the competitor must satisfy two criteria. Invitations are rarely granted:

i) The competitor must be of Australian standard.
ii) Have a reason why the competitor is unable to compete and qualify.

It is considered that if a competitor avoids competing in order to qualify they have an unfair advantage - they only have to peak once. Reasons accepted in the past, include they were needed to act in an official capacity - i.e. a judge, or they were competing elsewhere on the same day.

Eligibility:

To compete in the Australian titles, INBA Members must be an Australian citizen or have a working or residency visa for Australia. However, only Australian citizens or aliens who have lived in Australia for the past five years can win and receive the title of INBA Mr/Ms Australia and represent Australia. If a non Australian citizen possessing the work/residency visa required to compete does win the Australian championship, they will be given the Overall Australian Title and the runner up will be awarded the Mr/Ms Australia title and represent Australia.

SHOW FORMAT
The Australian Titles format will consist of 2 x One Show events with half the divisions run in the first show followed by the rest of the divisions in the second show. This format means competitors will be judged and presented with their placing and awards at the same time - there is no need to come back and prepare again later in the day. For spectators this big show is halved so those who have come to watch someone especially will not have to sit through the entire event. Judging will remain the same, comprising of Round One (Symmetry) and Round Two (Muscularity). Prior to judging starting each competitor will first be introduced to the judges and spectators individually on stage. Each competitor will walk to the centre of stage and strike their two best poses before walking to the other side and off stage - competitors walk behind the stage to return to the line up. Once every competitor has been introduced the entire line-up will move on stage to commence the division judging.

REGISTRATION
Registration will be held on Saturday (08/10) at Bell St Fitness, 96 Bells Street, Coburg, between 2 PM – 5 PM. Competitors who can not make it to main registration can register at the venue on contest day between 8 AM – 9 AM. However we stress you avoid this at all costs because we have limited staff to efficiently process registration if a large number of competitors attempt to register on contest day at the venue.

BACKSTAGE
At MVRC there is no restriction on the number of backstage "helpers" to assist you prepare, as there is ample space. However, backstage "spectators" are not allowed and will be removed! Bring your own weights to pump up if required. Prestigious venues such as MVRC give no second chances with their venue, if competitors leave damage to the venue and furnishing from competitor's tan and oil. INBA insist your tan be applied prior to arriving at the venue, so only a final 'touch up' is required. We also discourage the use of transient products like Dream Tan and recommend skin-dye tans.

EVENT FORMAT
The times given are only estimated when your division will be on stage. Please understand it is impossible to know how long each division will take to judge. At the Event we may have an updated schedule. If you're giving a time for friends to watch you, always suggest they come one hour prior to your estimated stage time.

NO POSING ROUTINES
In 2011 we have increased the number of qualifying events in Australia by 50%, growing to 20 domestic events throughout every State of Australia. Combined with the attraction to compete at the Natural Universe in Brisbane this year, the number of competitors who will compete at the Australian Titles this year will create the most impressive number of Natural competitors in our 20 year history. Over time we have adapted to the tripling of our Australian event by introducing a 2 x One Show format and now need to remove the optional posing routine which has no bearing on the score or placing for competitors. As you are aware, there are no individual posing routines at the Natural Universe in Brisbane. So to remove optional posing routines at the Australian Titles so we can help interstate and country competitors get home Sunday evening was an obvious improvement to make at the Australian Titles this year.

DRUG TESTING
The Australian Titles will be comprehensively screened by ASADA using urine analysis. A competitor producing a positive result on their A sample will be provisional disqualified and not allowed to compete at the Natural Olympia. Cheating in INBA events is a serious offence and harsh penalties apply.

OVERALL AUSTRALIAN TITLE
INBA is offering the chance for each division winner to compete for the Overall Australian Title. If you win your division in Show One, this will mean you need to return for Show Two. However, it is not compulsory to compete in the Overall.

AUSTRALIAN AUSTRALIAN TEAM
All competitors who are competing in the Australian Titles have provisional qualified for either or both International events. Therefore, you can relax in regards to knowing where you place or any mistake with your conditioning you make at the Australian Tiles does not change your qualification. Congratulations! We look forward to seeing you represent Australia and wearing the Green & Gold! At the Australian Titles we will have the Australian Team Uniform available for purchase.
