Sumbission Form

Writers or readers may submit entries, but please read the rules and criteria carefully! We will consider a single news/feature/op-ed story or three examples from a regular column as one entry. If relevant, you may include explanatory notes giving some context for your entry. For example, stories that would seem like modest achievements in some communities may deserve additional consideration when printed in a conservative community or publication.

Entries for the 2010 awards must be received by: June 30, 2010

Stories must have been published between January 1 and December 31, 2009 in a U.S. or Canadian publication. Winners will receive a plaque and a modest cash award and be honored at a Sexies award ceremony.

We ask for (but do not require) a donation of $10 per entry to cover our expenses and make sure the awards continue. To make your donation, follow the link on the thank you page after you submit your entry, and note in the memo line what entries it accompanies.
