However, there are no specific athletic or strength moves required. Only the athletic skills in which a contestant has experience should be incorporated.

Props are allowed but must be approved by Pageant officials at least 2 weeks in advance of the performance. Routines may not exceed two minutes and once begun cannot be repeated.

Judges will analyze body shape, tone, symmetry, complexion, poise, presentation and overall condition. Also, they will be looking for fit, toned, feminine bodies that display proper conditioning. However, the Fitness Universe Pageant Series are not bodybuilding events or associated with any bodybuilding organization. Therefore, physical definition and excessive muscular development will be penalized. Contestants will be judged individually and in group comparisons. 

Interview Round - 10% of Scores

The Top 5 Finalists among the combined Fitness and Swimsuits scores will proceed to the interview round. Each contestant will answer a question from one of the selected judges regarding her background, outlook about various aspects of life and attitudes concerning health and fitness lifestyles. Spontaneous answers must be given. Judges will be looking for articulate, concise, intelligent and though provoking responses.

Competitors can participate in more than one event if they choose including Ms. Bikini, Figure, Fitness, Model and/or Bodybuilding. Each event will be scored by a completely different panel of judges, so competitors placing in respective events may vary according significantly.
