bottom's up...........

A VIP jury chose two winners from 42 finalists of 26 countries. Kristina Dimitrova, 19, Bulgaria and Andrei Andrei, 24, Romania were awarded the title 'Most Beautiful Bottom in the World' by sloggi, a modelling contract for the next international sloggi campaign, EUR10,000 prize money and an insurance cover for their bottom.

- Fitness-expert Karsten Schellenberg

- Top-choreographer Marvin A Smith
