Bikini Judging Criteria

Themed Sportswear Round - 50% of Score

- Poise & Presence - 33%
- Sports Wear Selection - 33%
- Appearance - 33%

You have a chance to show your modeling talents and your creativity. Just like in the swimsuit round you will be asked to walk from one side of the stage to the other performing quarter turns at a specific point outlined on stage. The themed apparel you select should best represent your character, personality, athletic interests and/or any other appearance you're comfortable wearing. Just make sure it compliments your body. Work your magic - before you go on stage relax, enjoy your presentation and remember to smile.

This is an opportunity for contestants to get creative with their costume which can be designed of any sport in mind. No offensive costumes will be allowed (see through tops, thongs etc.)

Bikini Round - 50% of Score

Judges will analyze body shape, tone, symmetry, complexion, poise presentation and overall condition. Also, they will be looking for fit, toned feminine body that display proper conditioning. Contestants will be judged individually and in group comparisons. Facial beauty will be judged during this round as well. In the Bikini Round, Contestants must wear a two-piece, bikini swimsuit and high heel shoes. If a contestant is competing in both a Fitness Universe Pageant and Ms. Bikini Universe regional event, she must wear a different swimsuit in each event. G-String or thong type swimsuits are not allowed. Contestants whom have a muscular appearance and/or walk and generally carry themselves in a masculine manner will be negatively scored by the judges.
