Challenge Criteria
The winners in each category 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, and may also submit other materials such as body fat analyses, home videos, etc. to further supplement their essay and demonstrate their own body transformation. Typically, 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.
Participants who complete their 24-week Challenge period May 16, 2011 or earlier (three weeks or more prior to Challenge end date) must also submit one final "maintenance" photo.
The Written Essay (50% of score)
The essay must be 250-500 words and must describe how the body transformation has improved/impacted their life. Topics for discussion may include why the participant entered the challenge, how Isagenix products benefited them and how they might motivate others to achieve success through the use of the Isagenix products.
- Essay must include participant name, before and after weight, height, and any other supporting materials (body fat analyses, home videos, etc.) to enhance credibility.*
- The essay becomes the sole property of Isagenix to be used in any manner deemed appropriate.
* "Before" weight is participant’s weight on the participant’s start date.
"Before" and "After" Photos (50% of score)
Each participant must submit four "before" and four "after" photos taken on the participant's start date ("before" photo) and end date ("after" photo). Full body photos must be taken in the upright position and must include one frontal photo with newspaper and one frontal, one profile and one rear photo without newspaper. The newspaper should be held in the hand away from the body and should be one of the following publications: USA Today, Globe and Mail or Sintao (for Canada), or El Nuevo Dia (for Puerto Rico). Since the photo with the newspaper is for verification of the date of the photo, the date or headline must be visible in the photo.
- If the participant does not have access to one of the suggested newspapers, an alternate paper may be used. In this case, it is recommended that the front page of the paper be submitted with the photos for date verification or that a close up photo of the front page be submitted in addition to the four required "before" and/or "after" photos.
- The photos must be authentic and not altered or modified.
- The same type of clothing must be worn in all photos.
- High-quality photos are recommended to show the best results; unusually revealing photos will be deemed invalid.

- The recommended size for printed photos is 4" x 6".
- The recommended file format for uploaded photos is JPG.**
- Participants should take the photos using a white or light color solid backdrop for optimal visibility.
- All photos sent to Isagenix become the property of Isagenix. They will not be returned and may be used in any manner deemed appropriate by Isagenix (used for promo purposes). The contestant should retain negatives and copies for their own records.**

"Maintenance" Photos and Weight
Participants who complete their 24-week Challenge period May 16, 2011 or earlier (three weeks or more prior to Challenge end date) must submit one final "maintenance" photo which will be used during judging to verify that the Challenge results have been maintained through the end of the Challenge.

- Participants must provide their weight on the date of the "maintenance" photo.
The Judging Process
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% from the essay and 50% from the "before" and "after" photos. 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 in each category. The winners will be the individuals with the highest cumulative score within each category. The decision of the judges is final.
To be considered in the judging process, participants must maintain their success. Participants who complete their 24-week Challenge period May 16, 2011 or earlier (three weeks or more prior to Challenge end date) must submit one final "maintenance" photo and their weight as of the date of the photo. If a participant does not maintain their success to the satisfaction of the judges, the participant will be ineligible for consideration as a finalist.
