FAQ

Q. How do I apply for your contests?
All you do is fill out the online application and send in at least two well focused pictures of yourself.

Q. Who can apply for the contests?
Anyone that is 18 years or older. Please see the Contest Rules for more details.

Q. I applied, but I never received a reply.
We reply to all applications. It might take up to a few days to reply due to high volume of applications, but we do reply. If you did not receive a reply from us, it's probably in your trash mail. You should check your trash in your email.

Also, please be sure to send pictures. We receive tons of great applications, but do not receive pictures. We can not consider your application without pictures. So, if you did not receive a reply from us, please email us by going to our contact us page

Q. Can males apply?
No. Sorry, we did have a male contest but, they didn't get involved after entering. So, we were forced to discontinue the male modeling contest.

Q. Do you have judges that judge our pictures?
No. You must have your friends and family to vote on you. Although your friends and family votes, we have the actual final say. That is because we audit every vote that is made in our polls. If we find anything not followed by our rules, we determine the final winner.

Q. What time and date does the contests begin?
We have monthly contests and they all start at 6:00 P.M. central time and they all start on the 2nd of each month.

Q. When are they over?
All of our contests are over on the 28th of each month at 6 P.M. central time.

Q. How many times may I vote in each contest?
You may vote in the male and female contest every two hours. This is due to the poll logging your computer's IP address and it also stores a cookie on your computer. Once your IP is logged and the cookie is stored, it will not allow you to vote again until 2 hours.

Q. My co-worker has tried to vote, but it won't allow her.
Listen very carefully to this answer because it's the most misunderstood. One person can only vote once from ONE computer. So, if you just voted using your computer and then your co-worker tries to use the SAME computer, it will not allow it. This is because of the IP and cookie being stored. See the previous question. So, if your co-worker wants to vote, have her use her another computer that someone else hasn't voted with.

Q. May I vote on myself?
By all means, yes! You should be your biggest fan so, we encourage you to vote on yourself.

Q. What do I get if I was to win your contest?
We use to offer a trophy for the winners but, as of April 1, 2009, we changed that. We spent a lot of money on the trophy and on shipping and all we asked was that the model returns the favor to us by just taking a picture with the trophy once they received it. We didn't even care if the picture was with a webcam. From all of the winners, we received one picture.

We also use to offer a free photo session with one of our photographers. But, it became very hard getting the model and photographer together.

So, now we offer is a certificate, promotion, and of course, the title of, "Mr. or Ms. World Physique".

Q. I've seen your company promote models that were in your contest. How do I go about getting you to promote me if I was in your contest?
That is one of the reasons we hold these contests. We want to find the most deserving models worldwide. We are in the position where we can help many people in this industry. But, if we can't find you, we can't help you. But, once you enter our contest, our President/Owner sees your face, physique, bio, etc. She, will then, contact you if she finds you interesting. We have ways of promoting models on the website such as features, promos, advertisment, model management, photographers, etc. In addition, with the hard copy magazine, there are even greater ways of promoting models. So, a great way of getting in front of our company's President/Owner is to enter the contests.

In addition, our company's President/Owner participates in every aspect of our business. She interacts with people that contacts us, join our social networking, our friends on myspace and other websites on the internet, etc. She gets to know our viewers. She will even hand pick a model just by how the model approaches her. Having great shots showing your physique, having a great personality, having confidence in your goals and in yourself, and standing out will grab her attention faster then anything.

All models that appear in the contests has an open invitation to be a feature on the website, where more then 50,000 people will see you. You were picked for the contests because we were impressed by you. So, if you are not asked to do an interview, it's not because we don't want to interview you. It may be because we were busy at the time. You may contact us during or after the contest and request a feature to be done.

Q. Do you actually have to be a model to enter the contests?
No. You do not have to be a model to enter. We have bodybuilders, powerlifters, competitors, housewifes, moms, etc. enter all of the time. We actually see people enter the contests that have no desire or thoughts of being a model. Once they were in the contests, they had so much fun, meet great people, and networked, they started modeling. Contests such as this can open many doors for the right people.

Q. I just voted. How do I see who is winning?
Since competitors will stop trying once they see another competitior is ahead, we discontinued where you can see the results. Now, the results are show only at the last minute of the contest, which is on the 28th of the month.

Q. I was in the contest before. May I enter again?
Yes. You may enter as many times as you want until you win. Once you win, you can not enter again until the first of the year.

Q. If I am a member of the "Team World Physique", may I enter?
Yes. Even though you are part of World Physique, you may enter. We are so confident that our team members don't cheat, that we offer our own staff to enter. We have had plenty of our own enter the contest and still lose.

Q. Why should I enter?
Good question! You should enter because of all the fun you will have. You will also meet a lot of great people. Most people actually network a lot during the contest without even knowing it. They are promoting themselves, which brings a lot of attention to them. Just being in our contests, you are seen by thousands and thousands of people. There are thousands of people that just watches the contest and don't vote. We even have Photographers, Modeling Agencies, other fitness magazines and sites that watch.

We also put all the information you submit to us on your own little page that's all about you. We include your website links, ways to contact you, a bio that tells people who you are, and photos. We are not the only ones that see all of this. We ask for this information from you in the application just so we can help promote you and get you seen.

Q. How much does it cost to enter?
Our contests are free.

Q. When are the winners posted?
We post the female winners after the votes have been audited. We post the total votes and both the winner and first-runner up. This process usually is done quickly and posted the same day the contest ends. But, if we feel there is a need to wait due to auditing the votes, we will post it as soon as possible. After the votes are posted, we have our designer design the winner's pictures and post them on the site on our Champion Page.

Q. Why do you feel you must need to audit votes? Is there a lot of cheating?
No. There isn't a lot of cheating in our contests. For one, we have flash polls. These are the best to deterred cheaters. In addition, our polls store information inside of itself which keeps cheaters at bay.

The reason we audit the votes is because there are few people worldwide that do know how to go around certain aspects of a voting poll with software and stuff. But, we have means to fight back and find out if they are cheating.

Q. Is there a banner I can post that will help people to vote for me?
Yes. When you click on your bio page, you will see a button on that page that states, "Contestant banner". Click that and we have the code for you to copy and paste.
