The Sexual Freedom Awards is an annual British event that honours achievement in the sexuality and erotica industries worldwide.[2]
Founded in 1994 by campaigner
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]
