(ALL CATEGORIES MUST IN SWIMSUITS OR BEACHWEAR)
WOMEN
Sex Siren - (with a Prop)
Cliff Note: The prop is mandatory! Umbrella, beach ball, pail and bucket are cute props to use but step outside the box and be creative. This is a CASH category!
Body - (Model vs. Luscious vs. Athletic)
Cliff Note: Body is rump-shaking and booty-shaking. Model means slim and trim. Luscious means THICK. Athletic means toned and muscles.
Face - (Painted vs. Unpainted)
Cliff Note: Why paint your face in your typical make-up when you can go glossy and look wet? and if you're unpainted, why not use water to show the judges that God has painted you naturally?
*NEW CATEGORY* Nail Flair - (NO FRENCH!)
Cliff Note: You have ten fingers - GO OFF! Do designs on each one, have matching hands or maybe hands AND feet????? Hmmmm...
BUTCH
Body
Cliff Note: Butch body is MUSCLES - Arms, stomach AND LEGS!! Pose for the judges like bodybuilders. Please don't shake like the women... it's not very butch. This is a CASH category!
Face - (in colorful swimwear)
Cliff Note: Be a peacock and strut your stuff! Neons and bright colors - It IS Miami!
Sex Siren - (with a towel)
Cliff Note: How much sexy are YOU willing to expose to the judges? Remember that an attractive face is needed to sell sex; it IS what you see first!
Barber Shop Flow - (Fade vs. Dreads vs. Braids)
Cliff Note: Your only note is designs!!! Think creative haircut/designs!
TRANSMAN
Realness - (Unclockable, Undeniable, Unstoppable)

Sex Siren - (Make us wet without water)
Cliff Note: I think it speaks for itself...
OPEN TO ALL
Hat & Eyewear - (doesn't have to be a Label)
Cliff Note: Straw hats and Ray-bans - BORING!!! Cocoa & Breezy/Stevie Boi with custom headwear is CRUCIAL!
Best Dressed - (Pool/Beach Attire)
Cliff Note: Can you make a statement good enough for the water AND the red carpet? Our clue: Match head to toe or Coordinate prints with solids. Golds always look good with a tan.
Runway - (The Floor is Yours)
Cliff Note: Your walk I can't help you with but make sure you sell your outfit like it was Fashion Week. Its OTA runway so European (FF) walks against All-American (MF).
