The Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) will host the sixth edition of the Stage of Champions, which—for the first time ever—will be a pro-card qualifying event on June 7 at the National Cultural Centre in Georgetown.
This is Guyana’s official entry into the world of professional bodybuilding. With certified international judges from the IFBB and CAC, the competition is set to showcase the country’s top bodybuilders as they compete for professional status on home soil.
At the launch held on May 23, GBBFF President Roger Callender confirmed the participation of athletes from Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, and other nations.
Winners will not only earn professional status, but also compete for significant cash prizes: $600,000 GYD for the Overall Bodybuilding Champion and $300,000 GYD for the Men’s Physique Champion.
Traditional weight class winners will earn $200,000 (1st), $100,000 (2nd), and $60,000 (3rd), across the categories: Under 154 lbs, 164 lbs, 176 lbs, and Over 177 lbs.
