2008 BodySpace Transformation Blog Contest
We're seeking a handful of ultra-motivated BodySpace members to participate in the official 2008 BodySpace Transformation Contest. We'll be picking only 5 people this year to do 12-week, fat-loss transformations starting on Wednesday, December 26, 2007 and ending exactly on March 26, 2008.
This year, instead of everyone competing for one grand prize based upon the best overall transformation, this year it's all about meeting personal transformation goals. We're hoping to foster a sense of teamwork and a supportive environment (rather than a competitive one).
Since this is an online contest, the five people chosen must have some demonstrated online skillz, meaning that they already know how to use BodySpace, upload progress photos, use the workout tracker, as well as have used YouTube and a video camera before. The rules and terms of the contest require several online tasks be done on a set schedule, as outlined below. During the next several weeks, we'll be reviewing applicants' BodySpaces, looking specifically at blog posts, progress photos, and personal videos. If you wish to apply, but don't yet have an impressive BodySpace profile, please pimp it out as soon as possible.
RULES:
1) Similar to last year's group blog, each contestant will need to blog every other day (no more, no less) in the 2008 Transformation Contest group blog about his/her updates and experiences. Any additional blogging may be done in his/her own personal BodyBlog.
2) Each contestant must pick one main, measurable, realistic personal fat-loss goal, and work toward completing it over the full 12-week contest duration. Examples of personal fat-loss goals: drop from 185 lbs to 155 lbs; drop from 23% bodyfat to 15% bodyfat.
3) All contestants must maintain active and complete BodySpace accounts. They need to be model BodySpace members, using every applicable feature, and update their profiles regularly.
4) Before and after photos must be taken on the start and finish dates (as appropriate) with a newspaper to verify the date, and must be also displayed in the contestant's Progress Photos section.
5) All workouts must be tracked in the contestant's BodySpace Workout Tracker section, and all weekly progress photos must be uploaded into the contestant's Progress Photos section. Progress photos need to be uploaded every Tuesday without fail, this is non-negotiable. (Progress photos will be used in weekly update articles on Bodybuilding.com every Wednesday.)
6) All contestants must film one workout clip (and only one) each week and upload it via YouTube into the 2008 Transformation Contest blog every Tuesday without fail, this is also non-negotiable. (Workout video clips will be used in weekly update articles on Bodybuilding.com every Wednesday.) Any additional videos may be placed in the contestant's own personal BodyBlog or BodySpace profile.
7) Video footage must be uploaded providing proof of the weigh-in or bodyfat measurement both at the beginning of the contest and at the end of the contest.
If you have what it takes to whip yourself into shape and meet your personal fat-loss goal, sign up here in this thread to be considered! The five contestants will also be given front-page promotion on Bodybuilding.com, so you can anticipate some great recognition from the BodySpace community, and considerable publicity from being featured.
The group blog will be here:
http://blog.bodybuilding.com/Transform2008
and the 5 finalists will be emailed instructions on how to participate in the group blogging environment. Let the games begin! (The contest and the blogging offically starts on December 26, 2007. The final five contestants will be picked on December 15, 2007.)
Prizes and cash awards TBA.

Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately I am way to busy to devote so much time but it is a great contest and I will fully support the five that are chosen. Can't wait to see the results!

Just part of your workout each week - doesn't have to be the same each time - in fact, that might be a little boring, so switch it up on the video footage. It's as much for entertainment value (for the people following the contest), as it is to document your progress.Originally Posted by jcarouth
Can be as short as one set of an exercise, or up to a full workout (within YouTube's limits, of course - according to YouTube: "Your video is limited to 10 minutes and 100 MB.")
I can't stress enough, however, that the day before the contest isn't the time to try uploading video to YouTube for the first time. Please get familiar with making your own clips and uploading them now, so that when the contest starts, we won't have any glitches or excuses...

I would love to be considered for the challenge. I have yet to do a challenge like this online... always do challenges through work and think this would be a better motivation using the forum.

Great opportunity, jump on this one everyone! Of course, none of you will be as impressive as last year's winner.
But it should be fun anyway!
