NPC Elite Tan Southern Colorado & Armed Forces Championships

“I want to thank to everyone that helped make the Southern such a great experience. As it was my first show, I was quite nervous and intimidated going in. However, everyone, from Jeff Taylor to the judges to the stage managers and expediters to my fellow competitors, was helpful, friendly, and professional. It was an absolutely fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to step on stage again in the future.”  Matt Reilly, May 2014

This Year’s Event is a Fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project.  A percentage of the proceeds from this show will be donated to the WWP. Find out how you can get involved!

Polygraph Testing Procedure: As a condition of acceptance into this event, each bodybuilding and women’s physique contestant must pass a thorough 45 minute polygraph examination proving that he has not engaged in the use of anabolic steroids, clenbuterol, synthol, human growth hormone or non-over the counter diuretics during the prededing 24 CALENDAR MONTHS. Upon receipt of entry form and fee, the contestant will be notified where to go in Denver or Colorado Springs for polygraph testing.  The testing center will attempt to accommodate each contestant’s schedule. There will not be any additional charge to the contestant for the test. No notes from doctors allowed.  Please be advised: Polygraph testing schedules are likely to be inconvenient for many competitors but it is the only way that ALL bodybuilders can be tested prior to the event. This is the best way to create a level playing field instead of random testing on the day of the show, or after the show.  Thank you for your understanding. This has been what has made NPC Natural Events in Colorado some of the best in the USA!
