Re: Congratulate Fitness Challenge Winner Pete Larson and Join our Next Challenge Now
BTW, can non Americans enter?
I am from South Africa, could be a problem getting the supplements etc? I am assuming that all participants are sponsored?
No all participants are not sponsored my friend. Although this year almost all of them where. This was The first year Ef put on a official contest. 2009 I rounded up all the sponsors my self
with the help of the mod staff and We the members with me putting it all together had out on contest.
We got every single sponsor on the site at that time to pledge a prize , mods tossed in prizes, I tossed in prizes and more.

and more
It was well organized and highly promoted . Do a ef search on threads made by me with the word "contest" in the title over 100 threads across the forums +. I put together a judging panel of the most respected members on the site at the time consisting of 10 judges and my vote for a tie brake if needed.
As you can see these threads for the contest got 20-30 pages long each just talking about the contest before it got started let alone the log threads that were like hundreds of pages long.
We have even better sponsors now then we did back then as well as some of the same sponsors even more well rooted in the forums now.
I would love to see the sponsors get more involved with the contest. I am going to be talking to GS the owner about my Ideas for this and how we can better get them involved. Has to be worth it for a sponsor to be " highly involved" on every level.
This year I sponsored many of the people in the ef contest. Well infact I sponsored every single one of them except one person. But Now elitefitness has established that this compatition is the real deal and its going to be going on every year. Also That the prizes are real too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But Of course it takes planing, Talking to people, brining it all together. But its worth it when its all brought together.
I encourage all of you to join the contest now at the lower price and get your self ready for the next contest. You do not need to be a out of shape slob to win a transformation contest ether guys. As you can see both Pete and other people in the contest were all in good healthy shape...
As time passes I bet the contest just gets better and more people will be involved.
We should all promote this contest and we should all be a part of it in some way or another.
