Are there any special qualities a judge looks for in the teen division at a bodybuilding contest?

I'm entering a bodybuilding competition in a few months, in the teen division. I'm 19 -or at least will be by the time the competition rolls around- so this is most likely going to be my last (and first) chance at entering this category. So I was wondering: are there any details a judge is especially interested in for the teen class? Would they rather see good symmetry rather than size? How important is conditioning? I'm 5'7'' and my contest weight will probably be around 143.

1. I trained Mr.Teen Illinois and Symmetry is very important. If you can build Size in all areas that would be great. Symmetry, symmetry, symmetry. Smile. Have a killer routine. We would spend 2 weeks on the routine. Flex a lot. You want your poses to look effortless not straining. And have fun. If you are having fun the judges will too. Hold your poses. Don't be to quick with them. Hold for 2 seconds longer than you think. When on stage people have a tendency to rush through their routine. Make sure you practice your routine. Don't wing it. Good luck. TMontana
