Hey everyone, quick question for those who’ve competed or judged before.

When you’re on stage, is it okay to smile without showing your teeth? Like more of a relaxed or closed-mouth smile instead of a full-on grin?

I’ve seen some competitors look more serious or just do a slight smirk, and others go all-in with a big smile, so I’m not sure what judges actually prefer.

Does it depend on the category (like men’s physique vs bikini), or is it just about looking confident either way?

Would appreciate any advice or personal experiences 🙏
