Is he show material

Assuming he's fully papered and entire you would be better off having someone look over him for structural faults and to assess him against the standards. Did his breeder show? Are they able to help you?

 

Edited to say he looks like a real cutie! I've seen so many Bullmastiff recently with huge jowels and hanging skin.

Why do you need to know?

Usually people start showing when their dogs are young.

If the breeder shows, but didn't give you papers, or show your dog, the dog may not be suitable to show.

I would ask the breeder, they would have more knowledge about your dog than we would.

Ask your breeder, or attend a dog show near you and speak to some of the BullMastiff exhibitors, then you may be able to take him to be assessed.
He looks fairly young in the pic,  bear in mind that adolescent dogs can go gangly etc and come good later.

You can also look at the Bullmastiff profiles om Dogzonline, have a look at all of the champion titled ones and compare them to your boy.

Ask his breeder, or if you are his breeder or his breeder doesn’t show, contact a breed club or go along to a show and make contact. 

 

It isn’t a copout out saying that, people familiar with the breed might see something saying he ISN’T from that photo, but no one can really tell he IS from one sitting photo. In trying to assess  if a dog is a show prospect from photos you need side profile photos of the dog standing four square, front and rear shots, ideally videos of movement, knowing what the bite is and, if he is an entire male, that he isn’t cryptorchid.

 

There is a fb group Australian dog show newbies, they are usually good in helping people get started. There are confirmation evaluation groups too.
