Competition Tan

Competition Tan

In order to give every athlete an equal chance to show off their physique on stage, we use one method exclusively to tan athletes for the competitions organised by NCOBB/ICN Belgium. 

The tan is applied by means of a cream supplied at a very democratic price through our organisation. This cream can be purchased through our webshop and collected at a location and time provided with the purchase, as well as at the registration/weigh-in of each competition. 

Any other method used backstage to tan will not be accepted and will result in disqualification of the athlete if no remediation is possible before the start of the contest (first category of the day). Also note that extra application oils/sprays on top of this official competition tan is not allowed!

Athletes are required to be extremely mindful of backstage hygiëne and tidiness. Athletes who damage or stain the backstage area excessively, will be disqualified and in extreme cases fined by the NCOBB administration. This is decided by the official NCOBB administration.

The tanning does not completely dry into the skin, leaving stains on clothing that should all be removable after proper washing. We advise wearing dark clothes backstage and putting on stage outfits at the latest moment. Rented stage outfits can be a problem to return when thoroughly stained by our cream tan.

It must be noted that this tan is oil based, making it not allowed in many other organisations, including most competitions of other ICN Worldwide countries.
