The Lisbon Erotic Advertising Festival is an original and unique advertising festival that is held every two years and took place for the third time in 2004, with twenty four countries participating.
Agencies and production companies from all around the world can again participate in 2006 with advertisements with some erotic or sensual content shown on national TV or published nationally (Press&Poster) since the beginning of 2005 up to the Jury Meeting at the beginning of the Year.
As everyone who works in advertising knows, it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on... Now we are about to prove it AGAIN, in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon!
Portugal is a country on the western edge of Europe, often bathed in
splendid sunshine when the rest of Europe is under gloomy skies. A country with a long tradition as a tourist heaven, owing to its special climactic conditions, scenery, gastronomy and night life (for more information on Lisbon, please see

Three Erotic Days (and nights)
The organisers of LEAF, prisma:magazine,(*) are preparing three days of Festival activities which range from a Street Art Poster Campaign to an erotic literature fair as well as a Lingerie Event tie-in. There will an ample space for debate in the several other workshops and seminars all devoted to the burning questions of the uses of erotic content in advertising,
restrictions and legal considerations and so on. The three day event will end with a LEAF Gala Awards Ceremony and Dance Party. On Saturday, foreign visitors may take advantage of a special tourist programme with visits to the scenic and historic parts of Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais and Estoril. For more tourist information:
