The National Physique Committee (NPC) is the premier amateur physique organization in the world. Since 1982, it has produced many of the world's famous physique athletes. Competing through the ranks of the NPC Worldwide starts with a regional level competition, leading to national-level, pro qualifier competitions where the best athletes can earn their IFBB Professional League Pro status.
For most athletes, the calling card of the IFBB Professional League is the Olympia - often referred to as the Super Bowl of bodybuilding. Only athletes who have earned an IFBB Professional League card have the opportunity to compete at these prestigious events, with the best professional bodybuilding athletes in the world.
The NPC Worldwide prides itself on promoting its athletes through various media platforms. Stage shots from competitions are shared through NPC News Online, giving every athlete exposure at an international level.
