Debut Division
First Time Competitors Only Amateur Division
Taking the stage for the first time? The Debut Division at WNBF Sands of Strength is for athletes who’ve never competed in any WNBF event or any other natural federation before.
This is your spotlight moment — a place for new faces to shine in a 100% drug-tested, amateur-only competition.
Who can compete?
This division is exclusive to first-time competitors only. If you’ve never stepped on stage at a WNBF event — or any other natural bodybuilding competition — this is the place to start.
Requirements:
- Must be your first time competing in the category
- Register as a WNBF Amateur competitor
- Must comply with all WNBF rules and guidelines
- Pass a required polygraph test
Debut Division Categories
Debut athletes may enter any of the following categories:
Can I Compete in More Than One Division?
Yes! You can crossover between divisions and categories if you meet the eligibility requirements for each. An athlete can’t compete in debut, novice, and open in the same category.
***Debut may also enter novice or open but not both.***
Do I Have to Take a Polygraph?
Yes. The WNBF requires all amateur competitors to pass a comprehensive polygraph exam prior to show day. This test confirms you are competing 100% drug-free and meet the federation’s integrity standards.
- Polygraph tests are valid for 6 weeks
- If tested for another WNBF show recently, let us know — we’ll confirm it with the WNBF
- Testing is scheduled in advance and conducted by certified professionals
