The cheeky 'rear of the year' contest reached its climax on November 9 in front of a packed audience and hoard of paparazzi. 

Models stormed the runway in an array of glittering two-pieces, jewelled platform heels and heavy eye make-up. 

Cacau Oliver, the organiser of the contest said: 'The Miss Bum-Bum competition is to elect Brazil's most beautiful bum.'

Although competitors are happy to push their bodies to the limit to bag the title, runner up in the pageant last year, Andressa Urach, nearly died after procedures to enhance her bottom began to rot.

This year contestants had to prove that they had not undergone surgery nor used chemical products.

Bottoms are a thing of national pride in Brazil. 

Some Carnival beauties have even been reported to get their behinds covered by insurance companies.
