The All Manipur Body Builders Association will be holding the 59th edition of Mr Manipur contest on December 12 at Asha Hall, North AOC, Imphal. The competition will be held in seven categories with cash prizes of Rs 7.5 lakhs on offers for the bodybuilders along with other gift hampers.
This was announced by AMBBA general secretary, Sunanta Yumlembam during a press conference held at Khuman Lampak. He added that the weight of the bodybuilders will be done on December 11 at the office complex at Khuman Lampak.
Sunanta further said the entry form for the contest will be available at AMBBA office from 7 am to 11 am from today and the last date of duly filled form will be received till December 9, 2021.
AMBBA president N Ratan Singh appealed to Gym owners and coaches to guide their bodybuilders in the right direction and prevent them from participating in contests organised by non-recognised bodies. He added that there is increase in Bodybuilding Associations, which can send the wrong signal to parents and bodybuilders alike.
So it is high time to give a helping hand to AMBBA, which is the only body recognised by the Department of Youth Affairs & Sports Manipur, in having a vision and reaching higher platforms.
