We celebrate sex workers, performers, activists, agitators and influencers. Our values are sexual equality, the right to self-expression and accessibility.
Charlie George, comedian and our compere for the 25th Awards, said "I was essentially hosting the Oscars but sexier".
We mix entertainment with award presentations. Our aims are twofold: to honour professional people and organisations who inhabit the sexual universe and to live it up a little. Live performances will be from nominees in the Performance and Stripper categories. All over 18 yrs old are welcome.
Our Chair of Judges is the wonderful Somatic Sex Educator Kian de la Cour. Kian and his fellow Judges will be choosing the winners for the finalists of the following categories: Activist, Ally, Creator, Event, Performer, Podcast, Product, Sex Worker, Somatic Sexologist, Stripper and Writer of the Year.
Who will be carrying away the trophy - The Golden Flying Penis? Be in the building to see first hand!
The Awards raises money for The Outsiders Trust (charity number 283350), founded by Dr Tuppy Owens who also founded these Awards. The charity supports an online club of people who have disabilities so that they might find friends, relationships and explore their sexual expression. It also runs a helpline, helps professionals through a forum (SHADA) and is behind various websites with information, e.g. finding an experienced sex worker (TLC-Trust).
