But just who were those sun-kissed Adonises who graced the stage in their sexy swimwear?

Meet the winner, Jade Glover, runner-up Anthony Savva and the people’s choice award winner, Dom Venditti.

All three will go on to the national final, and hopefully, one of them will go all the way to Toronto.

Queensland Pride wishes them all the best in their quest to prove to the whole world that no-one fills a pair of swimmers quite like a Queenslander!



Name: Jade Heath Glover (winner)

Height: 5ft 10

Weight: 77kg

Age: 28 years young

Status: Recently single

Occupation: Guest Service Representative/Amateur Porn Star

Boardies or budgies? Budgie Smugglers, but it depends on who wears them. Budgies on Chris Evans, yes; budgies on Jack Nicholson, no.

Surf’n’sand or cool in the pool? Surf and sand definitely. I’m a real outdoors person and love spending time at the beach. It relaxes me.

Str8, gay or versatile? Very versatile, and flexible.

Piercings and/or Tattoos? One piercing, two tattoos and planning the third.

Have you ever modelled before? It’s a first for me, hopefully not the last.

What was the best thing about the Priape International model search competition?  Picking up one of the contestants :)



The judges had a hard time deciding who to choose.



Name: Anthony Savva (runner up)

Height: 6ft

Weight: 84kg

Age: 30

Status: Single for the past year or so. I'm not going to compromise what I want in a partner for the sake of being in a relationship. I'm very happy with my life, I have great friends, family and my health. When I meet the man of my dreams I will then give myself 100%, but until then I'm going to shag whoever and do whatever I want!  Life is unpredictable so live it to the max!

Occupation: I co-own and operate Millk Studios Day Spa & Beauty.  I do all the treatments now at Vanilla Salon in Newstead (www.millkstudios.com).

Boardies or budgies? I love wearing both! I like wearing my boardies around the house and out and about and I love wearing my budgies when I'm tanning on the beach or swimming in the pool.

Surf’n’sand or cool in the pool? Definitely surf ‘n' sand! I love seeing all the semi-naked (or naked) bodies surfing, swimming and doing everything else that the beach has to offer. I love digging out the sand, making my own personal contoured deck chair, planting my beach umbrella, closing my eyes, listening to all the sounds and drifting away.

Str8, gay or versatile? I once thought I was straight, then I went through puberty. Now I'm sure I'm definitely gay and definitely versatile :-))

Piercings and/or Tattoos?  My best friend Gavin bought me the nicest pair of diamond studs for my 30th birthday. I've got a large tattoo on my right arse cheek inspired by the French rugby player Frederick Michalak.

Have you ever modelled before? I was a nude centrefold for Australian Women’s Forum in my early 20s and I've posed for a couple of clothing labels and a KFC commercial.  Plus I've done a couple of club and party posters here and there.

What was the best thing about the Priape International model search competition? The opportunity to have met some amazing people and be taken on a fun and exciting new journey in the process.    

A contestant does his best to charm the judges.

Height: 170cm

Weight: 64kg

Age: 21

Status: Single

Occupation: Bar Attendant

Boardies or budgies? Love my boardies, although I do own a pair of budgie smugglers. Boardies for comfort all the way!

Surf’n’sand or cool in the pool? I love surfing, the beach and getting sandy, so I would have to say surf 'n' sand!

Str8, gay or versatile? Versatile.

Piercings and/or Tattoos? I used to have seven piercings but now I only have three. No tattoos, yet!

Have you ever modelled before? No, I’m pretty new to all this.

What was the best thing about the Priape International model search competition? Having fun. I’m a shy guy but I love getting up and having a go, meeting new people, getting to model and keeping the best swimwear around!
