Male Category Mandatory Poses
Exciting Update for male Competitors: Transitioning from the T-Walk to the I-Walk
We're excited to announce an important update in our competition format for all male categories. In our continuous effort to enhance the competition experience, we are evolving from the traditional T-Walk to the new Free Posing I-Walk. This change allows competitors to maintain the creative freedom of free posing, now within the streamlined format of an I-Walk.
What's Changing?
- From T-Walk to I-Walk: While the essence of free posing remains, the I-Walk format focuses on a straight-line presentation rather than the T-shaped runway. This modification means no more side poses at the ends of the 'T', allowing for a more straightforward and equally expressive presentation of your hard work and dedication.

After the Free Posing I-Walk, competitors will proceed to the comparison round. This segment of the competition is where mandatory poses come into play, essential for side-by-side evaluation by the judges.
