British sex industry awards event
TheSexual Freedom Awards is an annual British event that honours achievement in the sexuality anderotica industries worldwide.[ 2]
Founded in 1994 by campaignerTuppy Owens , the awards were first called the "Erotic Oscars", until the name had to be changed for legal reasons.[ 3] They were called the "Erotic Awards" from 2002 until 2013 when they become what is now known as the Sexual Freedom Awards. The awards ceremony is an annual event inLondon with a semi-finals event and the finals held at the "Sex Maniacs Ball",[ 4] [ 5] but now is a fully fledged award night in its own right. The Leydig Trust organise these events which raise funds for the "Outsiders Club", a charity that supportsdisabled people to find partners.[ 1] [ 3]
The Erotic Awards had twenty-one award categories including "Campaigner", "Sex Worker ", "Striptease Artist", "Fashion", "Academic", "Writer", and "Film".[ 1] [ 6] Nominations come from the public, and three finalists in each category are then selected by the "Grand Jury of Conspicuous Sensuality".[ 3] The winners are announced during the ceremony, where the finalists' work is also exhibited and performed.[ 5] All award winners receive the Erotic Awards’ signature trophy, the "Flying Penis".[ 1]
