PRESS

The Erotic Awards provide a wonderful opportunity to cover the pioneers and sexual innovators in 21st Century sex. However, our Awards cannot provide "subjects" nor get involved in programmes or features with no serious content.

The Erotic Awards seek to give any publicity to our finalists which help them with their careers.

We invite selected press to cover this year's awards for articles and programmes:

• offering intelligently considered, sexually aware features and documentaries on our finalists
• illustrating the powerful catalytic effects of the Erotic Awards
• promoting disabled people as desirable

Once we are happy with media proposals, our liaison officer, Thierry Muller will introduce journalists to our finalists, either before and during the event. Press and finalists mingle in the Exhibition in the hour before the show begins.

The Erotic Awards are run on a voluntary basis to raise money for Outsiders. Any publicity should be accompanied by a donation to Outsiders, and offer respect to our finalists.

The Erotic Awards Finals and Ceremony take place at the first part of the evening before the Sex Maniac's Ball. Press are now allowed into the Ball.

Please respect the fact that Ball guests require total privacy, in order to relax and enjoy themselves.

All guests who enter the Ball are required to sign their tickets stating they are not coming along in the capacity of Press. Thus, any journalists with a ticket who has the intention of covering the Ball, is breaking the contract on the ticket. Any publicity given to the Awards does not entitle journalists the right to "cover" the Ball.
