Magic Wand Extends 'Pleasure as Art' Submission Deadline

Magic Wand Extends 'Pleasure as Art' Submission Deadline

NAPA, Calif. — Vibratex, the exclusive North American distributor of the Magic Wand brand, has extended the submission period for its inaugural "Pleasure as Art" artist commission search to July 31.

"When you ship more than half-a-million wands each year, a handful of unusable units are inevitable. And though these wands won’t have their chance to deliver physical pleasure, they can certainly still make people happy," a rep explained. "So, instead of condemning these wands to landfill, Magic Wand is facilitating art."

Towards that end, noted the rep, Magic Wand is accepting applications from individual artists and collaborative teams looking to create "magic" with up to 100 decommissioned Magic Wand Originals.

Interested artists must complete an entry form and submit descriptions and sketches of their proposed design. One entry will be selected by a panel of judges to receive a $10,000 commission to then bring their design to life. Once complete, the finished art piece will be put on tour and featured in prominent locations — including adult retailers — around the United States.

“Seeing all the interest in this competition has been really exciting,” Vibratex CEO Ken Herskovitz said. “The variety of submissions has been vast, including concepts that we hadn’t previously considered. We’ve so enjoyed seeing the ideas Magic Wand has organically inspired that we’ve decided to extend the entry period an additional 31 days.”
