Important updates for competitors that were decided at the NABBA Committee Meeting held on Friday 2nd June the Eve of – the Britain Finals 2023
As NABBA strives to give its athletes broader competitive opportunities, and increase the dynamic range to events, the committee has decided to make changes to our events moving forward.
These improvements ensure we keep inline with our progressive outlook moving forward. They provide you the athlete with a range of opportunities and will have a positive impact on our sport.
1. NABBA Areas shows will now be “Open Championships”. This means you can enter any area show regardless of your home address, this also allows you access to multiple qualifiers to the NABBA Britain Finals.
2. You now have the option of entering up to two categories maximum per show (*regional qualifiers only). Entry fees will be £50 per category entered. You must state your selected categories on the entry form prior to the show, these strictly cannot be changed. The first category will only apply for your qualification to the NABBA Britain Finals.
3. Expense Prizes will be given to the category winners and/or “Overall” Mr & Miss Champions for each Open Championships qualifier at the discretion of the promoter during the awards and presentation.
4. Annual NABBA memberships will be £50 from September 25th (after NABBA England).

THE TEMPORARY WITHDRAWAL OF THE NABBA PRO UNIVERSE COMPETITION FOR 2023 HAS BEEN DUE TO THE UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THE COVID PANDEMIC CREATED. WE ARE NOT ALONE IN FEDERATIONS STRUGGLING TO RETURN TO PRE 2019 STANDARDS.
THE QUALITY OF OUR COMPETITORS THROUGHOUT HAS SUFFERED, ESPECIALLY THE PROFESSIONALS. BECAUSE OF THIS THE NABBA UK COMMITTEE DECIDED TO MAKE TEMPORARY CHANGES TO FIRST TRY AND ATTAIN OUR HISTORIC PRESTIGIOUS AMATEUR STATUS.
HOPEFULLY OUR COMMITTEE’S TEMPORARY DECISION FOR 2023 WILL ASSIST IN MAINTAINING OUR PROMINENT POSITION WITHIN PHYSICAL CULTURE COMPETITIONS
