The only category which was judged was the Men's Physique. Jonathan Seychell emerged as the overall winner followed by Axl Mal- lia. The climax of this event was reached in the last minutes with the guest performances of Maltese & European bodybuilding champion Luke Debono and Slovak IFBB Pro Marian Cambal. MFBBF is a full member to IFBB and locally is the only Bodybuild- ing Association recognised by the Maltese Olympic Committee and National Institutions. The commit- tee is elected by the members every two years during the AGM.
