This month, you can get 15% off our incredible calendars!!
The Worldwide Roar is a global campaign for human rights, social justice and better male mental health.
We began in 2009 as the Warwick Rowers, a playful calendar with naked male rowers from one UK university.
For over a decade, our award-winning calendars, films, books and more have been promoting inclusion, gender equality, LGBT rights and healthier masculinities.
With the help of thousands of supporters around the world, we have created and funded Sport Allies, a registered charity that builds on our message of sports-led inclusion through media partnerships.
We became the Worldwide Roar in 2019 because we saw that men everywhere could benefit from the experience of the rowers in our original project. Recent events show that our message and our methodology matter now more than ever.
Hate crime, structural racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, domestic violence, sexual violence, male suicide: many of the most serious issues we face today are products of how we look at men, who we expect them to be, and how men see themselves in relation to the world around them.
That is why we empower sportsmen to develop a healthier relationship with their masculinity. Every participant in the Roar embarks on a transformative personal journey that equips them to become active partners in creating a more inclusive world for everyone.
That process begins with filling in the form below. We welcome men regardless of age, ethnicity, sexuality, birth gender or physical disability. Help us to show the world you want to live in! We are particularly keen to include more BIPOC athletes, who have historically been under-represented in our shoots.

Drawing on ten years of learning at Warwick Rowers, the Roar is an opportunity for men to become part of the change they want to see – in themselves, in their relationships and in the wider world around them. It has been developed with the help of academic experts in the UK and Canada.
Participants will set their own objectives as part of a process that considers the purpose of the project, the reasons for taking part and the potential results. Over the last ten years, we have established that the nudity in our programme enables men to share new experiences, embrace new perspectives and make a real commitment to their goals.
As well as taking you on a journey of personal growth, joining the Roar means enables you to:
You must be over 18, identify as male and be active in some form of organised sport. Otherwise, we aim to be as inclusive as possible and to embrace men and trans men of all ages, ethnicities, sexualities, and physical abilities. We are particularly keen to increase the visibility in our project of people who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or play parasports.
Yes, within limits! There is no frontal nudity in our calendar and social media content. Full written details on the nudity in our project are included in our briefing and in the agreement you sign before participation.
Our benchmark is that nudity in our project is non-sexual.
We aim to promote natural body hair in the project. In particular, pubic hair should be as natural as possible.
The rest is up to you: some people like to train to make sure they are camera-ready, but this is not obligatory.
We will give any further guidance nearer the time of the shoot.
Usually, start early in the morning (we know you are used to this!). The core shoots tend to last until late morning/early afternoon.
There will be an option to take part in further filming, interviews and photoshoots throughout the rest of the day.
Yes, this is available to view here.
