There are a few roles in life you don’t want and ‘judge at a farting competition’ is probably high on that list.

But someone’s gotta do it because India is holding its first ever farting competition this month.

The competition, called ‘WTF: What the Fart’ is reportedly happening on September 22 in Surat, Gujarat, and was the brainchild of 48-year-old Yatin Sangoi and partner Mul Sanghvi.

The winner is the one deemed to have made the most melodic noise as well as a prize in the realm of 5,000- 15,000 rupees ($309 Australian dollars).

Speaking to Vice, Mr Sangoi said the idea came to him after he farted during a movie with his family and was told if he were competing in a farting competition, he would have won.

He said wacky competitions were common in places such as the United States, China and the UK, so why not start one in India?

Mr Sangoi also told the website said he wanted to end the stigma surrounding a normal bodily function.

“I want to normalise the process of farting. Even 20-25 years back, people used to fart openly, but now they’ve become all sophisticated and consider it gross, often shamed for farting publicly, when even doctors will tell you that farting is one of the healthiest human body functions,” he said.

Suggested prep foods for the 40 competitors include “radishes, beans and boiled potatoes.”

Hopefully the venue is well-ventilated.
