WE ENCOURAGE FIRST TIME COMPETITORS
The Ms. Bikini America competition is quite simply a "beauty contest" but with special emphasis on body shape, condition and overall attractiveness. It includes two competitive rounds: (sports-wear and swim-wear) There are no qualifications to compete and the event is open to women worldwide. The Pittsburgh show is filmed for The Fitness Universe program on ESPN.
1. Themed Sportswear Round -
You have a chance to show your modeling talents and your creativity. Just like in the swimsuit round you will be asked to walk from one side of the stage to the other performing quarter turns at a specific point outlined on stage. The themed apparel you select should best represent your character, personality, athletic interests and/or any other appearance you're comfortable wearing. Just make sure it compliments your body. Work your magic - before you go on stage relax, enjoy your presentation and remember to smile.
Contestants must provide a brief description of their outfit in the Themed Sportswear Round. This is an opportunity for contestants to get creative with their costume and also mention the clothing sponsor, if any. No offensive costumes will be allowed (see through tops, etc.)

2. Bikini Round -
Judges will analyze body shape, tone, symmetry, complexion, poise presentation and overall condition. Also, they will be looking for fit, toned feminine body that display proper conditioning. Contestants will be judged individually and in group comparisons. Facial beauty will be judged during this round as well. In the Bikini Round, Contestants must wear a two-piece, bikini swimsuit and high heel shoes. If a contestant is competing in both the Fitness America Pageant and Ms. Bikini America, she must wear a different swimsuit in each event. G-String or thong type swimsuits are not allowed. Contestants whom have a muscular appearance and/or walk and generally carry themselves in a masculine manner will be negatively scored by the judges.
