In an exciting development for Jamaica's bodybuilding community, the Jamaica Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Association (JABBFA), in collaboration with the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA) and Supreme Ventures Group, is proud to announce the launch of the Supreme Ventures Jamaica Invitational Bodybuilding Championships.

This event, set to take place on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at the Courtleigh Auditorium in Kingston, marks a new era for bodybuilding in Jamaica, paving the way for aspiring athletes to make their mark on the global stage.

For years, JABBFA has faced difficulties in securing the resources needed to support athletes in international competitions. Limited funding and sponsorship opportunities have held back some of Jamaica’s most promising talents. This groundbreaking event marks a fresh chapter, bringing Jamaica closer to the global bodybuilding scene by creating a dedicated platform for local athletes to compete and grow.

“This initiative is a testament to our commitment to advancing bodybuilding in Jamaica,” said Audrey Allwood, President of JABBFA. “The Supreme Ventures Jamaica Invitational will help us develop new talent and inspire athletes across the country to reach their full potential.”

The event features five categories—Bodybuilding, Classic Bodybuilding, Men’s Physique, Women’s Bikini Fitness, and Women’s Bikini Wellness—with over JA$500,000 in prize money, the largest in Jamaica’s bodybuilding history. While this year’s event is an amateur competition, it aims to evolve into a Pro Qualifier in the coming years, opening doors for Jamaican athletes to compete professionally.

“Our athletes are hungry for a platform that showcases their skills and dedication. Thanks to Supreme Ventures and the JOA, we’re making this a reality,” Allwood continued. “This is just the beginning of a broader movement to position Jamaica as a key player in Caribbean bodybuilding.”

The Supreme Ventures Jamaica Invitational has already sparked interest beyond Jamaica’s borders, with athletes from the Caribbean, the USA, and Europe set to attend. This cross-border participation will amplify the event’s impact, positioning it as a premier gathering for bodybuilding talent in the region.

Supreme Ventures is excited to be part of this event and invites fans and supporters to come witness this landmark moment for bodybuilding in Jamaica. With each lift, pose, and flex, our athletes will be one step closer to realizing their dreams of competing on the world stage.
