YNOT – For the first time in its 28-year history, Homegrown Video is sponsoring a contest that will award cash and erotic notoriety to the couple or group that submits the hottest real sex video.Inspired by the flood of submissions the studio receives from amateur exhibitionists, the Homegrown Couple of the Month competition will award $1,000 and a box-cover appearance to the stars of the best video presenting real sex involving real people. Videos must contain at least two people engaged in real sex, but may include as many folks as will fit in the frame.

“Having been designated as the ‘democracy of porn — porn by the people, for the people,’ we at Homegrown Video have decided to give a little more incentive to all the closet exhibitionists who have ever considered making a homemade adult video,” said Homegrown Video Chief Executive Officer Moffitt Timlake. “The main requirement we ask for is real people having real sex.”

Submission guidelines are here. All appropriate videos received since July 1 automatically were entered in the contest, which runs through July 31. Inaugural contest results will be announced during the first week of August.

Established in 1982, Homegrown Video’s long-running series of self-titled videos led Newsweek to refer to the company as “the originator of amateur porn.” Today Homegrown offers its content on DVDs, on cable television and online at HomegrownVideo.com. The company’s products are distributed exclusively by Pure Play Media.
