TOM  OF  FINLAND  FOUNDATION
EMERGING EROTIC ARTIST CONTEST

REV UP your inspiration by checking out the mild and wild and varied entries submitted for our earlier contests. THEN put pencil to paper, paint to canvas, finger to camera shutter, hands to clay... use your favorite artistic media... and CREATE!

The Contest deadline has been extended to September 30, 2009, so there's plenty of time to give it your best shot — but don't delay. While there are lots of prizes, the grand prize winner will receive an original Tom of Finland study.
