| Although this page provides you with a brief and yet comprehensive description about the Erotic Signature Art Competition, we would suggest that you browse the site thoroughly since there are some other important information not mentioned here. This website contains pretty much everything you’d need to know about the Competition, the Book (Winners Publication); and the Exhibition Tour of Winners, including Galleries of Photos and Videos. Some of the information is repeated twice or even three times in different sections throughout the site. However, if you'd prefer to take a shortcut, you can always read the FAQ section, or do a SEARCH.
