  How the work is judged: The Naughti Gras Show tries to be edgier, and
  more fun than what one might expect from an erotic art exhibition.
  Other than legal age requirements, nothing is censored, nothing too
  filthy or too subtle. All art is considered, from the high, to the
  low, from the biggest names, to the first timers. We have seen erotic
  work from expressionists, abstracts, commercial artists,
  photographers, and more. Comic and pin-up art has as much chance as a
  realistically rendered fine-art piece. We want to be amazed, excited,
  astounded, humored or aghast, we love it all.
  The Naughti Gras Show is juried by the organizers along with a few
  experts we respect. Art ranges from classic museum quality
  craftsmanship, to crude at-tempts at expressionism. The decision all
  boils down to, do we like it? Our main criteria are, "Is it erotic?"
  closely followed by "Is it good?" This covers a huge spectrum, as
  "erotic" can cover many areas. We'll admit, some art goes way over the
  edge, if you can shock us; you will most likely end up on the wall.
  Alright then, Let's Get Naughti!
