In 1991, The Oscar Heidenstam Foundation inaugurated a “Best Posing Award” for men and women at the NABBA Universe.

These awards reflect Oscar Heidenstam’s own achievements and consummate enthusiasm for displaying physical excellence.
Only two diploma awards are given each year, one each for best male and best female posing routine.
All competitors are scrutinised by three OHF judges for these OHF awards.

This video features the fabulous posing of the 10 winners to date as at 1995:

1991:    Sylvie Esmenjaud (France) and Reiner Gorbracht (Germany)

A competitor doesn’t necessarily have to possess the best physique but is judged within the OHF criteria:- overall appearance, stage charisma, poise, grace, unique style, and artistic choreography complimented by suitable music.
