Lovehoney is continuing to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Fifty Shades of Grey’s first publication by launching an arts competition – and Fifty Shades author EL James will be on the judging panel.
Lovehoney says it is looking for new takes on love, romance, and sexual discovery and it is asking entrants to create their own Fifty Shades of Grey scenario or idea. Their medium of choice can be a short story, poetry, video, song, or art, as long as the submissions display eroticism and sexual happiness in a unique way.
Winners of the Fifty Shades of Grey Your Way competition will receive a deluxe Lovehoney bundle, including signed products from EL James, and the winning entry will be displayed at an exclusive Fifty Shades of Grey event in the autumn. The competition runs until 24th July and separate competitions will also be held in America and Australia.
EL James said she had often been ‘blown away’ by the fan art inspired by her trilogy: “I want to tap into the creativity and energy of lovers who have enjoyed the trilogy and to discover where their imaginations and desires will take them,” she said. “Over the years I’ve seen some extraordinary fan art and heard some amazing songs… I can’t wait to see what entrants come up with. I’m sure we’ll find creators who will not just celebrate Fifty Shades but show us their own fresh and exciting takes on love, romance and sexual discovery. ‘The next E L James’ won’t be like me – they’ll be themselves, with their own distinctive voice.”
James will be joined on the judging panel by authors Nichi Hodgson and Shakira Scott, plus Nick Ellis, head of content at Lovehoney. Click here for full details.
