Posted yesterday, moved up because HUMP!

HUMP!—the Pacific Northwest's biggest, best, and only amateur and/or locally-produced porn festival—returns this fall!

We previously announced the three extra-credit props for HUMP! 7 here on Slog—Super Soakers, duct tape, and the number 7—but there was a little something we held back for the official call-for-submissions in this week's Stranger: HUMP!'s new prize packages. We've upped the runners-up purses in the Humor, Kink, and Sex categories from $250 to $500. And we've upped the "Best in Show" grand prize from $2,000 to $4,000. There will be seven HUMP! Awards this year:

· Best Humor: $1,000 First Prize, $500 First Runner-Up Prize
· Best Sex: $1,000 First Prize, $500 First Runner-Up Prize
· Best Kink: $1,000 First Prize, $500 First Runner-Up Prize
· Best in Show: $4,000 Grand Prize

The winners of HUMP! Awards are—as they have always been—determined by audience ballot. It's possible that a film could win more than one award: filmmakers who created a submission that was kinky and funny could take home Best Kink and Best Humor and $2,000. It's even possible that a single film—a hilariously kinky film with a scorching-hot sex scene that audiences adore—could sweep the HUMP!™ Awards and win Best Kink, Best Sex, Best Humor, Best in Show and take home $7,000.

HUMP! 7 submissions are due by October 7ish. HUMP! 7 goes down November 3rd, 4th and 5th at On the Boards in Seattle and November 17th, 18th and 19th at Cinema 21 in Portland.
