Drug Screening Info:
All ANBF events are 100% drug-tested. A multi-layered screening and testing program is used to protect the integrity of natural competition.
Methods may include, but are not limited to: polygraph-based screening, VAST screening technologies, detailed questionnaires analyzed using advanced analytical systems (including Artificial Intelligence–based risk assessment), random urine testing, and out-of-competition urine testing.
Screenings are valid for four (4) weeks for amateur competitors.
ANBF Pros must complete screening prior to each event.
All Pro Card winners and Pro prize money winners are subject to mandatory urine testing.
After registration, athletes will receive the required screening method and a scheduling link. Appointments are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Eligibility:
Open to all amateur and pro athletes who hold an ANBF membership. Membership applications can be obtained online at www.anbfnatural.com. You may send in the entry form without your ANBF membership number. You will get your card at the show.
Urine Testing:
Pro card winners and pros who earn payouts will be urine tested. The ANBF will be using the 2026 WADA Prohibited List as it’s banned substance standard. You, as a competitor, are responsible for knowing the effects that certain supplements may present. Just because you may have bought it over the counter does not mean it is acceptable in the ANBF. Please research carefully. The WADA Banned List is posted on our website, www.anbfnatural.com as well as the 2026 ANBF Drug Testing Policy.
Awards:
Top 5 competitors in each class and most entertaining stage presentation. If there are less than 5 competitors, the judges will decide if pro status is earned. Majority decision is needed for qualification.
Music:
Amateur routines are maximum of 45 seconds. Pros get up to 90 seconds. Please email your music to DJ Frank at [email protected]. The DJ is instructed to just play the music he is given and not start at a specific time. It is up to the competitor to cut their music if they choose. Props are allowed. All competitors will do a stage presentation to song of their choice.
