DIVISION INFORMATION
FOR A FULL BREAKDOWN OF ALL CLASSES WITHIN EACH DIVISION, PLEASE VIEW THE ENTRY FORM WHERE ALL CLASSES ARE SHOWN. YOU CAN ACCESS THAT ON THE ENTRY TAB OF THIS PAGE.
Following are descriptions of the various competitor divisions. The available divisions and classes (such as height, weight or age ranges) will vary in different events. If you have questions, contact the promoter shown on the QUESTIONS tab.
Athletes may compete in multiple divisions in the same event (crossovers between divisions, such as being in both Classic Physique and Men’s Physique in the same event). This is not true with FIT MODEL division, which does not permit crossovers to others like Bikini.
An NPC athlete of any age or experience may compete in the open class. The OPEN is the only class that qualfies you for OPEN NATIONAL CONTESTS which often award pro cards. See each event’s website page for more info.
If you want to compete in a class by age (for example, Teen, Juniors, or Masters), you must be the lowest age of the division (for example, 35 and over) on the contest day, or under the maximum age (such as 23 and under) on the contest day.
True Novice Divisions
Competitors have NEVER competed in the NPC before.
Novice Divisions
For NOVICE:
A competitor must not have placed Top 10 at a National Show.
A competitor must not have won an Overall (this includes Novice, Masters, or Open Overalls)
A competitor must not have won an Open Class with 3 or more competitors in the class.
First Responder Divisions
Competitors are Active or Retired with First Responder ID.
Armed Forces Divisions
Competitors are Active or Retired with Armed Forces ID.
Junior Division
Competitor must not be over the age of 23 on the day of the competition.
Masters Divisions
Competitors must be the age shown or above, on the day of the competition. For instance, classes called “35+” or “Over 35” both include competitors who are 35 years of age or older. Masters competitors may compete in multiple classes; for instance, someone 47 years old could compete in over 35 and over 45.
Athletes may also crossover to other classes such as Novice or True Novice or Open, if they meet those eligibility requirements noted above.
Open Divisions
An NPC athlete of any age or experience level may compete in the open class
Sometimes, athletes will choose to compete in an age-related class against others around their age, but also compete in Open against a range of competitors.
