The Shaw Classic is a strongman competition run and hosted by four-time World's Strongest Man Brian Shaw, who won the inaugural competition in 2020.[1] The second edition of the contest had 16 athletes with backgrounds from Europe and North America.[2] The total prize pool in 2020 was $53,900.[3] In 2021 the prize pool increased to $100,000 and in 2022 the prize pool increased to $150,000.[4] In 2023 the prize pool was $251,932.[5]
In 2023 Brian Shaw announced the winner of the Shaw Classic Pro Competition would gain the title of Strongest Man on Earth after acquiring the trademark off of Paul Ohl the organiser of the Fortissimus strongman competition held in 2008 and 2009.[6] Shaw also announced that the 2023 Shaw Classic would be the last competition of his career.[7]
