Annual Erotic Photography Contest
In some years, RHK organizes a global photography competition, inviting submissions from amateur and professional photographers alike. The contest is open to any subject that can be considered erotic, sensual, sexual, or intimate. This includes nude or partially clothed models, couples, groups, fetishes, kinks, and body parts like breasts, buttocks, genitals, and more.
Winning works are often featured in print, giving visibility to new talent. Some previous winners have gone on to launch successful careers in photography, art, modeling, fashion, pornography, media, publishing, design, marketing, and beyond.
This year's contest has already been announced and registration is now open until May 15th. Entry fees vary between $20-$50 USD depending on category.
The grand prize winner will receive $10,0000, while second place takes home $2,500 and third place receives $1,0000. There are also awards for best female photographer ($3,0000), best male photographer ($2,0000), and best group photo ($2,0000). Other categories include black-and-white photography, color photography, digital photography, analog photography, portrait photography, landscape photography, macro photography, still life photography, documentary photography, action photography, sports photography, underwater photography, night photography, nature photography, wildlife photography, street photography, travel photography, urban photography, architecture photography, food photography, product photography, and others.
All entries must be submitted by June 1st with a file size of at least 1MB and resolution of at least 300 dpi. Judges look for creativity, originality, technical skill, composition, lighting, subject matter, storytelling, emotion, and more. They may also consider the context behind each submission, such as location or setting, props used, model behavior, etc. Entries must not infringe upon copyright laws or violate any local regulations.
