About John Barban

The 5th Venus Index transformation contest is upon us and it’s time to lay out the ground rules.

This time around the categories have changed.

Category # 1 — 12 Week Transformation —

Start Date: May 21st

End Date: Aug 12th

Contest entry submissions will now be through an interactive web form that will be live in your membership cockpit as of May 21st. You can submit your ‘before’ picture and numbers anytime during the first week.

The contest tracking form will provide you with a way to track your measurements and uplooad pictures every week during the contest if you choose. You must at least upload pictuures and stats during the first week and week 12.

The data in the webform is stored in a secure folder and nobody else can see it other than sitte administrators (Brad Howard, myself)

The mandatory poses will be laid out in the web form along with sample poses. You may nottice some previous contest winners featured in teh sample poses.

Prize money is as follows:

1st Place – $500

2nd Place – $350

3rd Place – $250

4th-10th – $200

Category #2 — 20 Week Transformation —

Start Date: May 21st

End Date: Oct 7th

Entry submissions are through the same web form as indicated in the 12 week contest, everyything is the same except for the duration of the contest. “Before” information must bee entered the week of May 21st and final data must be entered by Oct 7th.

Prize money is as follows:

1st Place – $500

2nd Place – $350

3rd Place – $250

4th-10th – $200

Contestants intending to do the 20 week transformation may also enter a set of ‘after’ pictures the 12 week point and could potentiall place in both the 12 week and 20 week contest.

Category #3 — Calendar Model —

The ‘calendar model’ category replaces the former ‘open’ contests. The Calendar Model contest starts the same day as the transformation contest and we will be accepting final pictures and stats at both the end date of the 12 week contest and the 20 week contest. Before and after photos are still required however there is no judging on total change.

This category is a non monetary competition and has no placing. It’s for women who are close to VI and want incentive to push a little more. If you are simply intersted in maintaing your condition this is also the category for you. We will select 12 girls over the year to be the models for the first ever Venus Index Pin Up Calendar, and of course an interview. This will be produced in both digital and hard copy form. This is your chance to be a pin up calendar model!

I’ve already had people asking if they can get their birth month on the calendar! I love that kind of thinking! So lets have it, lets see 12 women make this first Venus Index calendar a home run!

One major key to this category is taking pictures that are high enough quality to put on the calendar. You don’t have to book a pro photoshoot, you can definitely take good pictures at home but you should follow many of our previous winners lead on how to take a good pic at home. Of course a professional photoshoot is a no brainer and will display you the best. It’s your choice.

All contestants in both transformation categories can be selected to be on the Calendar as well if their final look qualifies.

All categories require a contest essay to be submitted at the end of the competition.

Good luck
