How to Get on American Ninja Warrior

If you are an aspiring American Ninja Warrior, you can get on the show in one of two ways:

1. Submitting an application to be chosen to appear on the show
2. Participating as a walk-on in one of the cities where qualifying takes place

Applications are now open, so you can go directly to the American Ninja Warrior casting site to apply. You will have to submit a picture of yourself and a video explaining why you think you deserve a shot. Contestants are urged to be memorable and show off their skills to impress the producers and win them over. Then, wait for a response.

If you don't get chosen, you still have a shot to compete as a walk-on. When ANW holds qualifying in cities across the US, you can get in line to compete. Just know that you will likely have to get there a few days early and camp out in a vehicle or outdoors and wait for a chance to compete. The schedule for 2015 hasn't been released yet, but last year they were in Dallas, Denver, Miami, St. Louis and Venice Beach.

Good luck! And remember, if you want to compete on a ninja warrior-style course a little closer to home, Rockford Ninja Warrior is an annual event! Come out and show your support for a great cause!
