Erika Caneta is the winner of this year’s Miss Bumbum.
Since its inception in 2011, the competition has been organized by entrepreneur and journalist Cacau Olivier. The list of winners includes:
2015 – Suzy Cortez
2014 – Indianara Carvalho
2013 – Dai Macedo
2012 – Carine Felizardo
2011 – Rosana Ferreira
Essentially, it is a Brazilian pageant showcasing 27 contestants, each representing one of Brazil’s 27 states, with the winner being the one who has the most appealing backside.
Controversies have arisen throughout the brief history of the competition, particularly accusations of bribery among contestants. This year, runners-up Danny Morais and Karyn Alvyshave have both claimed the other cheated by purchasing votes, while Morais further alleged that Alvyshave had illegally enhanced her buttocks with implants.
The reward for the winner includes a modeling contract and approximately $20,000.
Regardless, it’s not my place to criticize—it’s all in good fun, I suppose.
Congratulations to Miss Bumbum 2016—Erika Caneta.
