Happy 101st Birthday Tom of Finland.  Thanks to the TOF Foundation who have been dedicated to protecting, preserving, and promoting the erotic arts for three and a half decades, his work is still as popular as it ever was. He was the queer artist who not only pushed the boundaries of homoerotic art and censorship in the 1950s and 60s, but his images became intertwined with gay culture and the gay aesthetic of the 1970s until the present day.

Tom of Finland Vodka has come up with a brilliant idea to celebrate the iconic artist’s anniversary with a Birthday Photo Competition and Charity Auction.

Ten finalists have been chosen from submissions by photographers and are showcased on the Tom of Finland Vodka Instagram page from June 11th through July 6th. Viewers can vote for their favorite image by commenting on the post with the word VOTE and #YourTomIsShowing. The image that receives the most votes will be the Audience Winner, while a Jury Winner will be chosen by a curated panel.

Each of the finalist photos will be framed and offered for auction from July 9th to July 23rd on CharityBuzz.com, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Tom of Finland Foundation, To see and vote the finalist photographs go to Instagram @tomoffinlandvodka
