Rear of the Year

Rear of the Year

Rear of the Year is a British award for people with a notable posterior. It is organised by Rear of the Year Limited.

History

Initially presented as a one-off accolade, Barbara Windsor won the first award in 1976. Five years later it became an annual event with Felicity Kendal being the victor.

In 1986 the award was presented to a man for the first time (Michael Barrymore) and 1991 saw Marina Ogilvy, the daughter of Princess Alexandra, be the first royal recipient. From 1997 the awards have been presented annually to both sexes.

Controversy

When Charlotte Church won in 2002 she was 16 (only just above the age of consent), leading to some controversy about the competition.
