2013 Rules

The IsaBody Challenge and Official Rules & Regulations for US/CA/PR

2013 ISABODY CHALLENGE CRITERIA

The JUDGING PROCESS

The winners will be those with the most compelling story as to “why” and “how” improving their physical image has improved their life. Participants will be required to submit an essay and
“before” and “after” photos. Contestants may also submit other materials such as body fat analyses, lifestyle photos, and home videos to further supplement their essay and demonstrate their overall transformation. A physician or qualified trainer at a local health club can measure body fat. Any inappropriate material will be deemed invalid. All essays must be in English. A panel of unbiased judges, from the corporate management team, will select all winners. Each judge will score each contestant on a 100-point scale based on 50 percent from the essay and 50 percent from the “before” and “after” photos. A positive weight will be given to those that have competed in a previous IsaBody Challenge®. The scores will be tabulated to give each contestant a cumulative score from each judge. The scores of these judges will then be combined to give each contestant a final score, which will be used to determine the winners. The winners will be the individuals with the highest cumulative scores. The decision of the judges is final.

Note: If a participant finishes the Challenge three weeks or more prior to the Challenge end date, they must submit four final “maintenance” photos. If selected, and winners do not maintain their success to the satisfaction of the judges, the participant will be ineligible for consideration as a finalist.

The WRITTEN ESSAY (50 PERCENT OF SCORE)

The essay must be 250-500 words and must describe how their transformation using Isagenix has improved and impacted their life. The essay is required to be submitted no more than two weeks after the participants challenge end date. Topics for discussion may include but are not limited to: Why you entered the Challenge; how Isagenix products benefited you; what your goals were and how Isagenix has helped you reach them; and how you will motivate others to achieve success through the use of the Isagenix products.
