1. The judges will be looking for a combination of these objectives:

• Beauty - overall cosmetic appearance, photogenic, skin tone and sex appeal.
• Poise and General Impression - overall grooming, personality, self assurance, composure and walk.
• Muscle Tone & Definition - overall muscle tone and NO muscle separation.

The judges are NOT looking for muscle mass or "ripped to the bone," extreme striations or the vascularity of a bodybuilder or a figure competitor. They are looking for shapely and toned bodies. Symmetry & Proportion - overall structural harmony of the figure relative to the shape and size of various body parts and proportional balance of opposite body parts. The upper and lower extremities should flow aesthetically when viewed from all sides creating a balanced and symmetrical appearance.

2. In all rounds, competitors should display a very sexy and femeinine attitude and keep a relaxed posture. There is NO FLEXING allowed. This is not a Bodybuilding or Figure competition.

3. The judging will be conducted in two rounds. Each competitor will be given an overall placing in each round and an overall tabulation of scores between both rounds.

4. The Bikini Divas are allowed to wear jewlery such as earings and belly rings. Appropriate footwear must also be worn for each round. Each competitor will be given an overall score in each round with an overall tabulation of points between all rounds.
