Rotorua's Cody Jarvie has made the finals of the Mr Gay New Zealand contest for the second year running.
"I am very excited this year. I feel like I can accomplish more because I know better now how the competition is run," Jarvie said.
"Entering last year, I really didn't know what I was doing, but walking out I knew I wanted to do it again this year."
Jarvie is one of eight finalists for this year's competition.
Each of the contestants submitted an application as to why they want to be Mr Gay New Zealand.
