We are not looking for racy or sensationalistic stories. The awards will be something any traditional journalist should be proud to hang on his or her wall—a testament to journalistic standards of fairness and accuracy about a charged and controversial subject.
The details: The Sexies will be given in four categories: news, feature, opinion, and "unsexy" (the most egregious violation of the Sexies' criteria). The first three categories have four divisions each: daily general-topic newspaper, weekly or biweekly general-topic newspaper, online general-topic news publication, and sex-themed news publications (any print medium). (For the purposes of this award an online news publication is defined as a site that is devoted to the dissemination of news, not run by a specific interest group, edited, and contains first-hand, reported, bylined stories.) The Unsexy award has no divisions.

First-person essays, self-help articles, sex-tips articles, fiction/erotica, and books are not eligible.

Articles must have been published in 2007. Article series must have started or ended in 2007. Submissions are due by March 23, 2008.
