So, I've been working on the contest website.
It feels like a bit of a luxury to have time to just get things done at my own pace - no big hurry. But we have been getting questions about the Fall Show, so I'm motivated to work on it anyway. The Fall Show is a first for us; we'll be running a bodybuilding, figure and bikini contest in October. It will most likely be considerably smaller than the spring contest, so it could be a great way for competitors - especially first-timers - to get some practice on stage in a situation that's a little less stressful or overwhelming.
And, as Bodybuilder Hubby says, we now know how to run a bodybuilding contest, so why not do it more often?
There will not be a Pro division in the Fall Show, which is the biggest difference. I've gone through several of the contest webpages already taking out references to the Pro division and making the information accurate.
I'm also updating the images and colors to reflect that the pages are updated for Fall. I enjoy the design part of things, so I'd planned to update the website to match the poster for each contest once (now twice) a year. Give me a little free time, a cup of coffee, a good show on Hulu and a blank screen in Photoshop, and I'm a happy girl. My plan is that the pages like Contest Results and past contest info will keep their images and colors in a sort of visual archive. Maybe nobody else will really notice, but I will like it. :)
The location for the Fall Show hasn't been determined. We had some issues with competitors violating rules at the last venue, which is affecting whether or not we'll be allowed back. We'll let you all know as soon as we know later this summer.
