Men will compete as lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight and masters (for those 40 years of age and older).
One of the impressive males, Dwayne Hylton of Body by Design Wellness Centre, wants to add the Mr Jamaica 2004 to his name.

Hylton has already won the Novice Mr Jamaica and Junior Mr Jamaica for 2004. He will get competition from Mark McDonald of Spartan Health Club, who was Novice Mr Jamaica and Junior Mr Jamaica in 2000.

Other notable competitors in other categories include Cecil Beacon of Lloyds Home Gym in St Thomas. He wants the middleweight crown, but will have to beat Winston Grant of Pep-up Campion Gym. Grant claims he is tired of taking the runner-up or second runner-up spots.

Defending lightweight champion Shaun Davis gets main competition from Clarence Bernard of Mighty Moves Gym in Montego Bay. Bernard was the 2002 lightweight champion.
In the masters category, Spartan's Michael Johnson, who won last year, will return to defend his crown.
