University students strip for ‘best bum’ competition

Would you strip down and pose butt naked at university?

That’s exactly what a host of UK students will be doing as Cambridge University’s best bum competition is back again for another year.

People are being asked to get cheeky and bare their bottoms for quirky photos in a bid to be crowned the owner of the best behind by members of the public.

The tongue-in-cheek contest, organised by student newspaper The Tab, is meant to be a celebration of bums everywhere.

And last year entrants posed on roof tops, in libraries, in row boats and even in front of a fish and chips shop.

“Here at The Tab, we love every type of tush – all shapes and sizes will be celebrated this year,” the newspaper wrote online.

“At the end of the day, bums are just bums. We’re not looking for glamour shots, just a lovely, creatively taken photo of your bottom.

“All bums are beautiful and we at The Tab want to celebrate that.”

The competition is judged by the public and anyone who wants to vote can do so online.

Cambridge students are no stranger to getting naked and striking a pose.

Every year some of the uni’s sportsmen and women have gotten naked for a calendar to raise money for charity.
