It’s not precisely on par with the Olympia contest, but the annual Arnold Classic (AC) arguably holds as much prestige and influence, being considered one of the major contests on the bodybuilding calendar. When some of the world’s best bodybuilders travel to Columbus, OH, to take the stage on Mar. 3-4, 2023 for the latest edition, they can take solace in knowing one thing. A victory will be rewarded more handsomely than ever. <\/p>\n

On Jan. 12, 2023, the Arnold Sports Festival organizing body put out a press release on their website and posted to Instagram announcing the prize for winning the Men’s Open division at the 2023 AC will be $300,000<\/strong>. That is a $100,000 increase from the $200,000 reigning AC winner Brandon Curry<\/a> took home in 2022. It builds on a significant increase from previous years when former champion Nick Walker<\/a> won $130,000 after the 2021 iteration, and inches closer to the $400,000 top prize earned by Hadi Choopan<\/a> after winning the 2022 Mr. Olympia. <\/p>\n
