Erotic Heritage Museum Reveals Winners of 'Queerotica' Competition

LAS VEGAS — The Erotic Heritage Museum (EHM) has announced the winners of its "Queerotica" literary competition.

“The contest is focused on queer stories and received nearly 100 submissions last year,” said an EHM rep. “Writers competed for a chance at several monetary prizes, as well as the opportunity to have their story published internationally. Submissions guidelines dictated entries had to be previously unpublished fiction or nonfiction, and involve any gender identity or sexual orientation.”

The winners are:

  • 1st Prize ($1000): “Hope, Tears, Steam, Gears” by Gregory L. Norris
  • 2nd Prize ($500): “Cryptocunt and the Eco-Sexuals: The Very Queer Story of the NSA in Berlin” by Comet Crowbar
  • 3rd Prize ($250): “Seeing Stars” by Kyo I. Young

The winning stories will be included in an anthology “published internationally by Microcosm Publishing in 2019,” the rep notes, and will be available at select retailers as well at the EHM. A second volume is on the boards due to the “overwhelming number of qualifying entries.”

Authors who placed fourth and fifth receive an EHM prize package worth $100. All other qualifying entries will be receiving $50 gift packs.

“Human beings have fantasies which run across the entire Kinsey Sexuality Scale, from totally straight to totally gay,” said EHM executive director Dr. Victoria Hartmann. “There are romantic fantasies and hardcore BDSM fantasies — not forgetting romantic BDSM fantasies, of course. Some stories involve one person; others involve group fun, with pairings and threesomes of all kinds along the way. Everyone’s fantasy mind works in a different way, and we are excited to share the works of talented writers with this first edition of ‘Queer Erotica.’ Congrats to the winners!”
