The Mr. America contest is a bodybuilding competition started by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). It was first held on July 4, 1939, and the winner was named "America's Best Built Man". In 1940 this was changed to what is now known as the Mr. America contest. In the mid-1940s, Joe and Ben Weider started the IFBB as an alternative to the AAU. They held their opposing contest, the IFBB Mr. America, in 1949 and then from 1959 through 1977. Rights to the Mr. America name have been sold several times after AAU discontinued holding the contests in 1999.

  • AAU Mr. America era una competizione di culturismo istituita dalla Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). È stata organizzata per la prima volta il 4 luglio 1939 ed il suo vincitore veniva eletto "America's Best Built Man". Nel 1940 il concorso ha cambiato il proprio nome in quello che ha poi mantenuto nelle edizioni successive (AAU Mr. America). A metà degli anni quaranta, Joe e fondarono la IFBB come alternativa alla AAU. Organizzarono quindi una competizione concorrente, la IFBB Mr. America, nel 1949 e poi dal 1959 al 1977. Il concorso della AAU divenne discontinuo dal 1999 in poi. (it)
