jade erotic magazine
JADE magazine was launched in 2001 as a printed publication and is the only erotica magazine published in the UK (by a small, fully independent publisher) to be awarded membership of The Guild of Erotic Artists. It has consistently improved, moving from 48 pages when it began to 76 pages in 2007. JADE exists to promote and foster new and established talent from the erotic art world. The ethos of the magazine is to present to a wider, mature and appreciative audience both new and established talents in the world of erotica for the pleasure and enjoyment of both men and women.

JADE has become the leading erotica-only magazine (free of reams of specious advertising) published within the UK and has established itself as the magazine of choice for intelligent and mature readers, both men and women, seeking genuine erotic content rather than porn and wall-to-wall sex adverts. More information and copies of the magazine are available from http://www.greatnorthernpublishing.co.uk/jade.html

They make a great companion to curl up in bed with, or a wonderful addition on any coffee table for everyone to enjoy.

The international jury included highly established artists, museums, curators, editors, and academics working in the field of human sexuality.

Robert Babylon – Erotic Artist of the Year – Awards Review

This Event Day was a busy and important date for The Guild at Beaumont Hall Studios as it saw the first of the JADE Erotic Artists Awards presented by Guild model Rebekka Raynor on behalf of the Editor of JADE magazine.

First the two worthy runners-up, photographer David Hare and artist Karen Middleton were invited to receive their framed certificates to loud applause from the audience of fellow members, visitors and guests. The winner of the 2009 award was then invited to the stage where photo artist Robert Babylon, dressed in black leather kilt, received his framed certificate and the specially commissioned white kneeling sculpture (created by Ken Clarke for JADE). Along with the very loud and continued applause as he was presented with the impressive and now much coveted award there were calls from the audience for a speech. Robert, in the finest tradition of award speeches, gave an emotional but genuine and heartfelt vote of thanks to his wife Caroline, who he said had supported him throughout his career and without whom he would not be where he was today. There was more applause as he left the stage a very proud and happy man, and a deserving winner of the first ever JADE Erotic Artist of the Year Award.
