Participants will be required to submit an essay (with "before" weight, "after" weight, and height), "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, Spanish, French, or Chinese.
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 the Isagenix products benefited them and how they might motivate others to achieve success through the use of the Isagenix products.

- The essay becomes the sole property of Isagenix to be used in any manner deemed appropriate.
"Before" and "After" Photos (50% of score)
Each participant must submit three poses of "before" and "after" photos, of the front, back, and profile; each set must show frontal, rear, and side poses in the upright position. The photos must be authentic and not altered or modified. The same type of clothing must be worn in both sets of photos.
- High-quality photos are recommended to show the best results; unusually revealing photos will be deemed invalid.
- The purpose of the photos is to demonstrate a clear body transformation that has been achieved through hard work, effort and determination in completing a comprehensive nutrition and exercise regimen, incorporating the Isagenix products.

The recommended size of the photo is 4" x 6". Participants should take the photos using a white or light color with a solid backdrop for optimal visibility.

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.
