Drug Screening Info:
The ANBF is a 100% drug-tested natural bodybuilding organization. All competitors must take and pass a VAST Screening Drug Test conducted by a certified examiner. If you have taken and passed a VAST Screening test at an ANBF show within the past 4 weeks, you must provide proof to be exempt from retesting. All ANBF Pros are required to take a VAST Screening test for every event they compete in.
Eligibility:
Open to all amateur athletes who hold an ANBF membership. Membership applications can be obtained online at www.anbfnatural.com. The membership is good for a period of one year from the date of purchase. You may send in the entry form without your ANBF membership number. You will get your card at the show.
Urine Testing:
Pro card winners and pros who earn payouts will be urine tested. The ANBF will be using the 2025 WADA Prohibited List as it’s banned substance standard. You, as a competitor, are responsible for knowing the effects that certain supplements may present. Just because you may have bought it over the counter does not mean it is acceptable in the ANBF. Please research carefully. The WADA Banned List is posted on our website, www.anbfnatural.com as well as the 2025 ANBF Drug Testing Policy.
Awards:
Top 5 competitors in each class and most entertaining stage presentation in the show. All open and master overalls are ANBF pro qualifiers. If there are less than 5 competitors, the judges will decide if pro status is earned.
Music:
Amateur routines are maximum of 45 seconds. Please email your music to DJ Frank the Tank at [email protected]. The DJ is instructed to just play the music he is given and not start at a specific time. It is up to the competitor to cut their music if they choose. Props are allowed. All competitors will do a stage presentation to a song of their choice and will be limited to a 10’x10’ square box at center stage.
