TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Eligibility

1.1 I must be aged over 18 by the first day of the International Grand Final.

1.2 To apply, I must be a size UK14 / US10 or above. If at any time while I represent the System as a finalist or titleholder I am not a size UK14 / US10 or above, I will no longer be eligible to compete or hold title.

1.3 To be eligible to hold a title, I must not have had weight loss surgery in the 12 months before the International Finals. The System does not ban weight loss surgery or weight loss medication, including injections such as Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy, where they are used for medical need.

1.4 While I am a delegate, I will follow the weight loss content rules in the Delegate Terms.

2. Applications and selection

2.1 Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, nor does it automatically enable me to compete. The System reserves the right to reject applications based on suitability.

2.2 If I am selected as a finalist, I will provide photographic ID and proof of residence.

2.3 If I am selected to represent my country or state, I will not compete in any other pageants, beauty contests or modelling competitions that require me to have a title or wear a sash or crown.

2.4 If my country or state is already represented, I may apply for another title if one of these conditions is met:

(a) the place of representation is my birthplace, place of residence, or place of work or study;

(b) the state line is within 40 miles of my home address;

(d) I am using a State or Country nickname that is not already reserved.

2.5 I will look solely to the System for all matters relating to participation, including application, rules, regulations, policies, preparation, rehearsal, performance, the selection process, and holding title.

3. Fees, deadlines and changes

3.1 There is a delegate sponsorship / registration fee, which may be paid in full or in instalments. To secure my title I will pay a deposit. The payment, withdrawal and refund terms are set out in the Delegate Terms, which I accept when I accept a title offer and submit payment.

3.2 I will meet all deadlines for payments, photographs and contestant information requested by the System, including information requested by partners, sponsors and associates. Missed payment dates may result in my place being forfeited.

3.3 All fees paid to the System are not refundable and not transferable, in full or in part, except as set out in the Delegate Terms or where required by law.

3.4 Competition divisions may change based on minimum participation numbers. Competition dates and locations may change at any time due to unforeseen circumstances. Minor changes do not entitle me to a refund. The Delegate Terms set out what I can request if the date moves by more than 3 days or the host country changes.

3.5 Prizes and other benefits may change or be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Prizes given by sponsors are not the responsibility of the System, which cannot be held liable if a sponsor does not fulfil a prize.

3.6 The System may update these terms at any time, and my continued participation after notice of a change counts as my acceptance of it. Changes do not automatically apply retrospectively.

4. Conduct

4.1 Eligibility to compete or hold a title is subject to background considerations where an individual's conduct, associations or circumstances present a reasonable safeguarding, safety or reputational risk to participants, partners or the System.

4.2 Conduct that materially undermines participant safety, event delivery or the integrity of the System may result in forfeiture of title, and the process set out in the Delegate Terms applies.

4.3 By applying, I agree to conduct myself respectfully and professionally during all official System activities and representations.

5. Photographs and information

5.1 Photographs, video and information I submit, or that are taken during my participation, may be used for operational purposes relating to the administration, delivery and documentation of the System, including websites, programmes, press releases and official communications. If I accept a title, the media release in the Delegate Terms also applies.

5.2 To opt out of having my full name shared, I must tell the team which alias I wish to use. I may request an alias where appropriate for safeguarding or privacy reasons.

6. If I accept a title

Holding a title and certain prizes are subject to the Delegate Terms, which I accept when I accept a title offer and submit payment.
