If you want results you can trust, you need judges who know what they’re looking at. At the 2025 Northeast Classic and Monster Mash, that’s exactly what athletes got—experienced judging panels grounded in professionalism, education, and fairness.

Many of our judges have come through the Nancy Andrews Presents infrastructure, which has been a cornerstone of natural bodybuilding in the Northeast for years. They’ve judged at national and international levels, across multiple federations, and understand how to apply criteria consistently across divisions.

With the transition to ANBF, we took that solid base and sharpened it further. Before this season, we reviewed the scoring standards in detail. We got on the same page about structure, symmetry, presentation, conditioning, and division-specific requirements. The goal was simple: make sure athletes are being evaluated with clear, consistent, and current expectations.

At the Northeast Classic, we reviewed the scorecards thoroughly. No major outliers. No odd calls. When you dig into the numbers and see alignment across the panel, it tells you something—you’ve got the right people at the table. And that means competitors can walk away knowing their placement wasn’t a fluke—it was earned.

The ANBF’s drug-testing standards, combined with a legitimate judging process, give natural bodybuilding contests like these real weight. It’s not just about titles. It’s about integrity, longevity, and setting a standard everyone can respect.
