2024 IPL INSPIRATION & TRANSFORMATION CELEBRATION INFO
FEBRUARY 10TH 2024
This event is an extension of the IPL’s Inspiration & Transformation division. ITC is not just about weight loss. It is also for individuals who have overcome any life changes such as disease, illness, cancer, trauma, or other health disorders, etc…This gives the contestant an opportunity to share their success and inspire those watching to what is possible when you never give up.
This event is a true celebration of your personal journey to a more healthy, active lifestyle.
EVENT FORMAT (Two Segments)
SEGMENT 1 – THE JOURNEY (PRELIMS)
- Attire: Any outfit that is “Fitness Themed.” Bikini, Sports Wear etc.
- Story: One minute bio will be read by Emcee during your walk. Bio should be about yourself, describing your personal journey. Whatever you feel comfortable sharing with the audience.
- Photos: Contestants submit 5 – 15 images which will be presented on a large screen as a “slide show” when you are on stage during this segment. Images should “tell a story”. For instance, ideally there would be a “before” image and an “after” image. The additional images submitted should show the “progression” or “journey” that took place between the before & after. Images do not need to be “professional” photographs. They can be photos taken from any device.
- 60 second Walk/Routine: Contestants will perform a standard “T-Walk” during this segment or may perform a “routine” if they choose to.
- Music: Contestants may choose a song they wish to have played while on stage for this segment.
SEGMENT 2 – THE PRESENT & BEYOND (FINALS)
- Attire: Business Casual, Dressy, Formal etc..
- Story: One minute “update” will be read by Emcee during your walk. This describes where you are today in your journey and what your plans are as you look to the future.
- Photos: For this segment just one slide will be shown, the before & after. This slide will be presented on a large screen when you are on stage during this segment. Images do not need to be “professional” photographs. They can be photos taken from any device.
- 60 second Walk: Contestant will perform a standard “T-Walk” during this segment. No “routine”.
- Music: Contestants may choose a song they wish have played while on stage for this segment.
JUDGING/SCOREING/AWARDS
Contestants will receive two scores. One for “Impactful Story” and one for “Physical Transformation.”
Please be aware that, although many contestants will have inspirational journeys of weight loss, ITC is not necessarily a weight loss competition. Physical transformation and weight loss are definitely a component and one of the two scores contestants will receive. However, “Impactful Story” is also a big part of this event and will be the other score contestants will receive.
Keep in mind that a contestant may not have lost the most weight in comparison with other ITC contestants but may have an incredibly powerful and impactful story. Again, both Physical Transformation and Impactful Story will be combined for an overall score.
AWARDS: All contestants will receive a medal for success in their journey, making it to the stage, sharing their story and offering inspiration to others. We will also be awarding One Top Male ITC Winner & One Top Female ITC Winner. The Top Winners (most overall points) will receive a trophy statue, in addition to their medal and will be featured on the cover of INSPIRE Magazine. Each on their own cover (male & female editions of the publication). In addition, all contestants will have their story featured in an upcoming issue of INSPIRE Magazine.
