The Batemans Bay Soldiers club will host the Clash at the Coast event which attracts athletes from the ACT, South Coast and surrounding regions.
Competitors will go head-to-head in a range of divisions including bikini model, fitness model, sports model, miss swimsuit, miss runway, figure, men's fitness, men's physique and men's bodybuilding.
Jayden Visser, 22, is ready to welcome himself back into the competition scene and no doubt will impress.
"I decided to enter this comp about three months ago and have been hard at it since," he said.
Competing in the men's fitness division, Visser said he isn't all about being "shredded and dialled".
He has set himself a challenge and is aiming to see what he can achieve.

"It would be great to place in the comp, but either way, when I come out I will be happy regardless because I have never been in this sort of shape ever in my life," Visser said.
Mostly excited for the competition, Visser said he has a few nerves which can "easily be shaken off".
"The whole family will be brought together to come and support me which will be pretty special as well," he said.
Judges of the competition will critique each competitors physique by looking at; size, symmetry, conditioning as well as confidence and smooth transitioning when posing.
23-year-old Anthony Patrizi of Onelife Gym Batemans Bay, is a hot prospect in the competition.
It has been so long in the making, I have a lot to show this year and I can't wait

Aiming for big results, Patrizi will compete in the bodybuilding intermediate and men's open divisions.
"I am striving to go in and take them all out with a good mindset of winning," Patrizi said.
"I have done as much as I possibly could to be in the condition that I am currently in.
"It has been so long in the making, I have a lot to show this year and I can't wait," he said.
Patrizi is aiming for his pro-card as a natural body builder and will be competing in five shows this year.
"It has been a long arduous prep, but I have had my coach helping me as well as my meditation which keeps me consistent with my dieting and to balance everything in my life outside of bodybuilding," he said.
