The last day for the 8th Venus Transformation contest will be Sunday August 11, 2013.  The final deadline for pictures, measurements, and essay’s will be midnight EDT Sunday night.

The final requirements will be:

1.  Front pose
2.  Side pose
3.  Back pose
4.  Newspaper pose – same as front pose but with current days newspaper front page clearly visible in your hand.
5. Up to 15 cover model poses of your choice.  Each change of outfit AND change of scenery must have a new newspaper pose.  The newspaper pose must have the front page clearly visible. 
6. A 250 word essay with your name and age.  Write about what the Venus lifestyle and workout means to you.
7. Your weight, height, shoulder, waist, and hip measurements at the time of the photo shoot.

It is very important that for your front, side, and back poses your arms are down at your sides but not covering your waist and that they are full head to toe pictures.  Do not crop out your face or your feet.

Front, Side, and Back poses must be done with hands down at sides. You can submit additional poses with the cover model pictures.

IMPORTANT:  For your cover model pictures you can use a variety of different outfits and scenery (indoor or outdoor) but you must have a front newspaper pose with each new scene AND each new outfit.

There must be a newspaper pose with each change of clothes AND each change of scenery.
