  NEW RULE UPDATE!!! WOMEN'S POSING SUITS   

"Micro Cut" suits are NOT allowed to be worn onstage at any NPC event. This rule applies to all suits for all divisions. All suits must be seen as "appropriate" for the stage and stage photos. If you have questions about your suit, email dominic@npcoregon.com

» Entry Fees?

Each class has a registration fee of $125 per class until the entry deadline which is Sunday May 18. Late registration fees increase to $250 for the first class, and $125 for any additional classes if registered late. This is due to the planning stages for awards, goody bags, t-shirts, etc. There are no refunds on entry fees.

 

» When is competitor check-in and do I need to attend?
Competitor Check-Ins will be held on Friday, May 23, 2025 from 6pm to 8pm at the Deschutes Expo Center in the main lobby. Everyone must attend competitor check-in, this is where you will be entered into your correct division based on your height and/or weight. You can also purchase photography packages and your NPC card. You cannot compete without your NPC card. There is no late check-in, so you must be at the Friday evening check-ins to be entered into the competition.

» Where can I get an NPC card?
If you have not yet purchased an NPC card, you can purchase it online at www.npcregistration.com. The fee is $150 and cash or checks are the only methods of payments accepted if you purchase your card at the competitor checkins. No credit cards, they are only good if you purchase online. You will need your NPC card to compete at the Cascadian Classic, and other shows throughout the 2024 season. If you purchased your card at another competition, be sure to bring the yellow receipt you received as your proof of purchase.

» Where is the competitor meeting and what’s it all about?
The competitor meeting will be at 8:15pm to 8:30pm after Check-Ins are over. We strongly encourage everyone to attend, as we will be covering important show information, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and meet your head judge. We will also go over introductions at the finals, when you need to be backstage, and NPC rules. At this time, the meeting is for competitors and trainers with trainer passes only. We will post more details about the meeting as the show gets closer.

» Can I send in my routine music or do I need to bring it with me?
You must email your music in MP3 format to info@cascadianclassic.com and include your name and division. We can no longer take CD's because most computers do not take them anymore. Please also specify if you want your music to start on or off stage. Bodybuilding, Women’s Physique and Classic Physique routines should be no longer than 60 seconds and up to two minutes for Fitness. Please keep your routine respectful, and do not use music with profanity or obscene language and must be radio edits. Your promoters reserve the right to refuse music not meeting these standards.

» Where can I find photos of myself after the show?
Mark Mason Media will be offering both stage photos and video packages at competitor check-in. You can email him directly at mark@markmasonmedia.com if you have specific questions. No other photos can be taken and sold. Your family is allowed to take photos of you only, but they are not allowed past the first row in the auditorium.

» How will you introduce me at the finals?
Bodybuilders and Women’s Physique will be introduced as they come out for their routine. Figure, Bikini, and Men’s Physique competitors will be doing something different than the “clothes-hanger” that you see at most shows. Instead, our competitor introductions will be similar to the pro league. You’ll hit one pose at the back of the stage, two more at the front, and then exit the stage to the right (your right). Please hold each pose for only 2-3 seconds. We posted a diagram of the stage for you to review on Facebook, and we’ll also be going over this again at our competitor meeting.

» Where am I competing again?
The 2025 NPC Cascadian Classic will be located at The Deschutes Fair & Expo Center at 3800 SE Airport Way, Redmond, OR 97756. The venue is right at the main entrance when you come into the fairgrounds. You will also see plenty of signage pointing you in the right direction.

» How many people are in my class?
We are not providing a competitor list to athletes due to last minute registrations and changing of classes. You can however ask during the check-in how many are in your class.
