Attention filmmakers! Polish off your short sexy films and submit them to one (or all) of these great festivals and contests.

The Petra Joy Award 2012
 This is an erotic short film competition for aspiring female filmmakers – women who are either completely new to filmmaking or amateur directors who have not been distributed yet. The theme of the second Petra Joy Award is “Female Fantasies”. Petra Joy is a pioneer of female-focused porn and has always promoted female sexual liberation and self-expression in her erotic films, books and workshops for women. The duration of the film can be anything between one to ten minutes. The genre is open – from animation to documentary or erotic vignettes – we welcome all films that feature female fantasies and in an innovative, creative and artistic way. A fresh, creative approach is much more important to us than technical perfection. Deadline is August 31, 2012. Details here.

The 2012 Southwest Gay & Lesbian Film Festival
This annual film festival, is celebrating its 10th year, and has expanded to a ten day event presented in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Films and videos submitted can be of any length and should be of interest to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender communities.  This year the festival is excited to add a new shorts program of erotic films.  While many LGBT films feature love stories and a bit of titillation, this shorts program is an opportunity for erotic films to have their own dedicated showcase.  We are looking for short films that particularly highlight authentic eroticism and desire from a variety of perspectives.  Deadline is Friday, July 14, 2012. Submission guidelines here.
