Indeed, if you have a great appreciation for erotic art, then you are in the right place. Whether you are an artist or a great admirer of the best erotic art has to offer, we welcome you to explore and participate in this amazing collection of artworks on our website, which by the way has something for everyone:
FOR THE EROTIC ART ENTHUSIAST
One of the primary goals of Erotic Signature is to promote the work of
the many talented artists who have already made an impression in the
subject of erotic art, but as equally to offer those who are unknown or
just starting out an opportunity to prove their gift and ability to the
world. Our intent is to serve as a vehicle to help communicate the
seriousness of this art genre and change the perspective of those who
do not consider this art form as “Real Art”.
At a point during the competition, Erotic Signature will exhibit in the "Gallery of Entries" all of the artworks entered in the competition to
our registered community members comprised of erotic art enthusiasts,
private collectors, gallery and shop owners, auctioneers, etc... At the conclusion of the competition, all the site members, excluding the
competing artists themselves, will have the opportunity to review the
top 200 winning artworks already selected by the jury board for their
inclusion in the book and choose the “Viewer’s Choice” winner to
receive a $1,000 cash prize. When the 'Community' part of the site goes Live, all registered members will also be able to send
comments and requests to the artists about their artwork all throughout
the competition.
FOR THE ARTIST
- Exposure... Get Published - One of the greatest endeavors of all artists worldwide is to be recognized, remembered and respected for their own individual talents; all artists whether competition winners or not have something unique and exciting to offer. Our jury panel will choose 200 winning entries to be published in “The
World’s Greatest Erotic Art of Today - Vol. III” book to be distributed
internationally through leading booksellers, the internet, museum shops and
retail outlets; and you can be in it!!! Whether you submit one, two or
(the maximum) five images for our jury to decide upon, you have the
chance to have all submissions included as each artwork is judged on
its own individual merit. We feel such an exquisite publication can only benefit the career of every talented artist included within it. We would also add that every one of the 200 winners will be given a
page each to showcase their winning artworks. This gives a real sense
of equality to the whole proceedings.
- Promotions - Erotic Signature offers a variety of ways to promote our winning artists. Through a great amount of traffic on our main website, your work are exposed to tens of thousand of art enthusiasts and collectors. As a winning artist, you also benefit from a great deal of marketing efforts undertaken by the Erotic Signature Staff on your behalf by attending numerous events throughout the year to promote the book and its distribution. We also have established a great relationship with some of the most prominent organizations and associations in the erotic art community. Their willingness to help promote and support our company can be served as a testament to our credibility, but most importantly a reflection of the high-level of talented artists whose works are being published.
- Marketing - The launch of the book will be highlighted by an exhibition of winners
to be held in Miami during the 3-day 'Annual Erotic Art Festival'
(ARTundressed) on June 4 - 6, 2009. Also,
the winning artworks in the book will be featured in a six-month
exhibition tour that will follow the Awards Ceremony and will possibly include five to six
different cities.
- Recognition - By entering this competition, your work will be reviewed and voted on by a jury group of established masters in the field of erotic art; ranging from top curators of the world’s most prestigious erotic art museums, to master artists.
