THIRD EDITION
Welcome
Champagne Productions is proud to announce the 2026 NPC Worldwide G’s Posedown 021 Natural Regional Qualifier, a landmark event in the evolution of natural bodybuilding in South Africa.
Taking place on 27 July 2026 at Corpus Christi, Cape Town, this event expands the G’s Posedown Natural Series to the Mother City, bringing the prestige, production quality, and athlete-first experience synonymous with Champagne Productions to the Western Cape.
As an official qualifier for the NPC Worldwide World Championships at Jim Manion’s Pittsburgh Power & Fitness Festival in 2027, the contest offers elite athletes the opportunity to qualify for international representation. The Top 3 competitors in each division will earn the honour of representing Team South Africa on the world stage.
For the first time, Cape Town athletes have access to an official NPC Worldwide Natural Regional on home soil — eliminating travel barriers and opening the door to international qualification pathways.
This is not just another regional show. This is the Natural standard elevated.
We look forward to welcoming athletes from across the country to Cape Town as we continue to raise the standard of natural bodybuilding in South Africa.
Train with purpose | Compete with integrity | Represent South Africa with Pride
This Natural Regional Qualifier contest is open to all amateur athletes worldwide, regardless of federation affiliation. Competitors will receive Regional Status, which will allow them to compete at a Natural Pro Qualifier.
The only contests the IFBB Professional League recognizes for Professional Status are the Pro Qualifiers officially associated with the IFBB Professional League; no other contests will be acknowledged.
IFBB Professional League Pro Qualifiers are the only pathway to competing on the IFBB Professional League stage, including the Olympia.
In addition, leading companies in the bodybuilding and fitness sector will have the opportunity to showcase their latest products and innovations at the EXPO, which will take place at the Corpus Christi Panorama concurrently with the competition.

You can enter a contest in the Bikini division and, in your next competition, enter in the Fit Model division to find out which division is best for you. The only crossovers that will be permitted will be within the Fit Model division. For example, a competitor may enter in all of the following Fit Model classes that would apply to them: True Novice, Novice, Junior, Masters, and Open.
VISA
The visa policy of South Africa is how the South African government determines who may and may not enter South Africa. Visitors to South Africa must obtain a visa from one of the South African diplomatic missions unless they come from one of the visa-exempt countries, in which case they get a “Port of Entry Visa”. Visitors who require a visa must apply in person and provide biometric data.
All National Federations and supporting teams could ask for an Invitation letter from the Contest Promoter. The invitation letter does not mean you are granted your visa. The Contest Promoter is not responsible for attendants visas.
To prevent unlawful stay in the host country the athlete may generate their own visa letter on the Muscleware from their athlete profile.
