Miss Bumbum is an annual beauty pageant held in Brazil to reward the owner of the best buttocks in the country.[1][2] Created by journalist and entrepreneur Cacau Oliver,[3][4][5][6][7] the competition has 27 contestants, each of whom represents one of the country's 27 states.[1] The winner receives 50,000 Brazilian reais (about US$22,000) in endorsement deals, and instantly becomes a celebrity in Brazil.[1] Brazilian television network RedeTV! broadcasts the event.[8] The reigning title holder is Larissa Sumpani.

Miss Bumbum made its first foray into the US market by licensing an official 2017 calendar for distribution in the US. The calendar was published in December 2016, featuring the 2016 winner Erika Canela on the cover.[9]
