New PSL Improvement Contest
In appreciation of the support we have received here at Iron Magazine Forums, PSL has decided to launch an improvement contest as a small token of our thanks. In order to provide an opportunity for as many people as possible to win, we have expanded upon traditional guidelines and will be using a unique set of criteria in selecting the winners (see "Rules of Participation", below).
There will be 3 winners selected, each of whom will receive a prize. Prize earnings are reflected below:
Prizes
1[SUP]st[/SUP] Place: $300
2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Place: $200
3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Place: $100
* All prizes redeemable at the PSL store in exchange for Europharm product.
Contest Start Date: April 26th
Contest End Date: June 1st (6 weeks total).
* Participants may enter anytime between the start and finish dates.
Question: Where will the contest be held?
Answer: Right here in this thread.
Rules of Participation
Unlike traditional improvement contests, in which participants are generally required to conform to strict guidelines and are judged only on their degree of physical improvement, we are changing things up a bit with this most recent rendition.
The contest will be judged by one guiding principle...those who have made the largest degree of improvement relative to their life circumstances, will be selected as the winners. So, what have you had to overcome in route to achieving your physique/fitness goals? What were your challenges? Did you have to defeat an illness or injury to get to where you are today? Did you experience financial and/or material misfortune on the way to success? Did you face loss or emotional trauma, yet persevere and claim victory in the end? We want to know your story!
For those of you who have had a relatively hardship free journey on the road to physical improvement, do not feel as if this contest is not for you. This contest is for EVERYONE, as everyone has an equal chance of winning, regardless of life challenges. In other words, we will recognize your physical accomplishments for what they are! Improvements are evaluated proportionately to life circumstances, so someone with excellent physical improvements could easily be selected over someone who endured hardship, but whose physical accomplishments are less impressive. It is all relative.
There are no limitations on the type of physical improvement that qualifies for this contest. It could be related to fat loss, muscle growth, strength, endurance, organized sports, or any combination of the above. Anything involving physical improvement will be accepted. Lastly, your improvements can be from any time period you wish and can include as short or as long of a time period as you wish. For example, you could be a 28 year old man showing us the improvements you made from age 14 up to the present. Or, you could be a woman who chooses to re-comp her physique as much as possible over the next 6 weeks. You decide.
At the end of this 6 week contest (April 26[SUP]th[/SUP]-June 7[SUP]th[/SUP]) we will closely evaluate all the entries we received and carefully select the winners. The winners' names will then be posted in this thread, with a PM sent out to each winner notifying them of their victory.
***Important***
Accountability: Because of the wide scope of this contest, it will not be possible to monitor every aspect of someone's story/accomplishments. For this reason, we ask that everyone be completely honest in their accounting of their story/accomplishments and that such individuals include proof/evidence of their claims whenever possible. While we would like to believe that everyone will be exhibiting total honesty in their claims, we cannot be positive. Therefore, anyone who provides proof/evidence for their claims (pictures, public records, paperwork, trophies/medals, or other related evidence) will be given a higher level of consideration. Remember, this is your story, so it is up to you to verify its authenticity to the best of your ability. We understand that in some situations, providing proof of all claims may not be possible, so we ask that you attempt to limit your claims to the things which can. If not, we ask that you provide any other complimentary evidence which lends credence to the claim. When evaluating the totality of evidence, so long as a reasonable degree of certainty is present, the claim will be excepted.
