It's a seasonal event that's euphemistically known as "Noite Amador" or "Amateur Night." It's held four times a year at the notorious Silver Seal club in Carniville Park. But make no mistake, the participants are no amateurs, at least in the sense of their dazzling beauty and bodies. In fact, some of Carnipelago's sexiest women usually sign up for this beauty contest, including several local celebrities.

And why not? The winner-take-all cash prize has grown over the years as many of the Islands' wealthiest sex-tourists make it a point to schedule their regular trips to the Sea of Secrets so they can take part, too. Each contestant has two buckets, placed at either side of the catwalk during her turn to show off her curves and cuteness. The front two rows of the audience are reserved for the highest bidders and they vote for their favorite girl by dropping money into the buckets. If they like the first girl and toss a bunch of cash into the bucket and then like a subsequent girl more, they'll have to toss even more... During the first round, the currency amounts are limited to coins and small bills, and five finalists are announced. During the finals, the girl with the most money in her bucket wins the entire take!

We finally got a chance to take some pictures of this wild contest and we present a bunch of great shots of the four finalists of "Noite Amador"...
