How Contest Works: Each week we publish 3 Erotic Fiction Stories to BetterSex.com for community voting. The story with the most votes wins the week, $100 award, inclusion into our book and inclusion in the semifinals and so eligible for $2,000 Grand Prize.

Voting Algorithm: We use a voting algorithm to identify spam and vote fraud. Machine voting, scripting and voting via other electronic means is against our contest rules and will disqualify the writer. We've adusted our tool to allow for human votes in web cafes since they are so popular internationally (we are using reasonable scale quotients to quash international spam). Large blocks of simultaneous votes will be considered spam no matter their source. We never disqualify until after repeated rule violations.

(C) Retained By Writer: Writers submitting stories retain their copyright. We pay for use of winning stories.

Link to this page: http://www.bettersex.com/t-erotic-fiction-contest.aspx with anchor text "Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest" because voting always begins at the top of this page.

Submission Deadline: Midnight Sunday October 4th

First Reading: Wednesday 9.28 (all stories received by 9.27 and read in order received)
Tentative Schedule: 13 weeks of voting starting Monday October 5th

Special Awards: Some authors, usually past winning writers, will have a week by themselves thus insuring a story in our next book and participation in the semifinals. These awards are made by a 3 judge panel.


Grand Prize: There is a non-binding community vote after 3 finalists have been determined, but the cash prize is awarded by a 3 judge panel (in order to prevent fraud).

In House Erotic Writer
One of the goals of our annual erotic writing competition is to find great writers. Several writers have won multiple prizes in our annual contest. For the first time, we've decided to create an in-house Erotic Writer position. This position will be a contract position writing 12 erotic stories of varying in lengths from 2,000 to 3,000 words. Our plan is to publish one story a month for a year. Past winners of our competition are being considered along with new voices. Writers interested in this position are strongly encouraged to submit stories to our current erotic fiction contest. We are working on further details about this postion and will publish them here. In the meantime please review our CraigsList ad for details on how to apply:

Erotic Fiction Contest Background
BetterSex.com is dedicated to supporting great amateur erotic fiction. We’ve paid over $15,000 (so far) in prize money to almost a hundred writers from countries around the world. The first Better Sex Erotic Fiction contest was held in 2005. In 2007 we published our first book featuring 19 authors from our 3rd Erotic Fiction Contest under our Better Sex Press label. We are working on the book from our 4th contest now.

Profits from products created from our contests are paid back to authors in prize money and licensing fees. We create and run our yearly contest because BetterSex.com believes in giving back. Every year we write a big check to DKT International to help create and promote sex education, family planning and aids prevention around the globe. We know our obligations don’t end there. We created the Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest as a strange fun thing for us, our community and authors. It continues for just those reasons.
