HOW IS THE VOTING DONE?
A panel of professional judges and Sculpted Vegan Coaches will decide the top 10 finalists. We will announce this on social media and in the Facebook Group on Monday, February 17th 2020. When deciding the top 10, we will look for the contestants who have made the biggest transformations, not necessarily those who are the most “ripped” or “shredded”.
The judges will then decide the winners from the top ten finalists. The winners will be announced on social media and in the private Facebook Group on Monday, February 24th 2020. The top five will win cash prizes.
THE PRIZES
1st Place $10000 cash

By submitting your photos for judging you are giving The Sculpted Vegan and partners, express permission to re-post and re-use these photos in any and all promotion material pertaining to this challenge, or any future challenges, or in any other marketing material.
If any entrant is suspected of cheating or photoshopping their photos, we reserve the right to disqualify the entrant or choose a winner by a different means, even if it means changing the distribution of the prize money in the event one or more persons are disqualified from the top 10 finalists.
