It is mandatory for all athletes to compete in a NPC Regional Show each year to obtain the NPC Regional Cert. The NCP Regional Cert is only valid within the same year. If your country has a NPC Regional Show, then you must compete in your own country first. For these 7 countries - Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, you may compete in a NPC Regional Show in one of these countries. After obtaining the NPC Regional Cert, you will then be allowed to compete in any IFBB Pro Qualifier shows worldwide.

Please note: The NPC Regional Cert will not be given to an athlete who registered for a show, but didn’t go up the stage. This athlete will be considered “Did Not Finish” (DNF) and no cert will be issued.
