Queer of the Year: The Final Five

The finalists have just been announced for Montreal’s Queer of the Year contest and boy, did they pick a few good men!

The hilarious and proud 5 finalists are all headed to Montreal on an all-expense paid trip to compete in crazy challenges and win the ultimate VIP Montreal Pride prize.

More on what is in store for the remaining cute contestants, see some of the finalists' videos, and find out what one lucky queer will win, below.

Travis Mullenix, Nathan Gilligan, Corey Vautour, Sean Horlor, and Blake Spence are the fab five finalists.

At the end of Montreal Pride Week (August 9-16), the finalist with the most public votes, combined with most points from the judges for wacky challenges, will win the ultimate title of QUEER OF THE YEAR. That gets you a chance to take part in the Pride parade, and enjoy the Montreal VIP treatment on Monday August 16.

Check out finalist Nathan’s plea for top queer honors:

Valued at approximately $4,000 (Canadian money, which right now is better than US dollars, yo!), the Montreal VIP treatment includes: 

•Designer shopping spree with a personal stylist
•Spa pampering package
•Montreal gourmet dining experience

Corey’s cute coming out clip got him into the final heat:
