You might have to calculate:
- Gas

Final tally, you are looking at spending anywhere from $3000-5000, so just be prepared!
After going through my first competition, there are definitely things that I would do differently. The main item that I went with (which was the largest cost), was the Venue Hair/Make-up/Tan. I’m just not sure it was worth the cost. They were all “organized” by the same person, but I would use the word organized very, very loosely. I would recommend going through them for ease of schedule, since they are on-site. However, for price, I am sure I could have hair and make-up done elsewhere. The only reason I would maybe stick to them for the tan, is for touch-ups, but this also depends on location and how well you know the area. Some girls have their go-to people that are available for competition day.
Also, I am creating an ebook with more detailed info and if you would like a free copy once this is finalized, just sign up on the right side!

Wow, what a fantastic cost summary of what to expect when committing to a bikini competition. Where was this information when you were getting started? Oh yeah, that’s right… it didn’t exist. It does now 🙂 Great job!
Thanks for all of your support, Mike! Even though I did not want to see that final total – I am completely grateful and happy that I was able to participate in this event.
