The categories and nominees for the upcoming YNOT Awards have been set and the voting period for the awards will kick off on Monday, June 27, YNOT Events announced today. Focused on recognizing excellent adult industry companies, executives, and brands, this year’s show marks the twelfth edition of the YNOT Awards.

The voting period will last a full month and is open only to verified members of the adult industry with an active YNOTID account. Each person can vote only once; abuse of the voting system will result in disqualifications of nominees.

“We’re looking forward to another great night of entertainment as we honor the very best executives and companies in the business,” said YNOT co-owner and YNOT Awards producer Jay Kopita. “Our strict industry-only voting is an important part of the process, because when the winners accept their trophies, they know that award is a direct reflection of the respect they’ve earned from their peers.”

The YNOT Awards, which will be held on August 23 in conjunction with the TES Affiliate Conference in Prague, focus on recognizing outstanding executives, companies, and brands in webcams, b2b services, and other adult industry verticals.

The evening will also feature dinner, an open bar, and pre-show entertainment for VIP guests, with free seating and a cash bar for general attendees. The YNOT Awards are distinct from the YNOT Cam Awards, which celebrate the industry’s best cam performers and clip artists. The 2022 YNOT Cam Awards will be held in Hollywood, California, on October 13, directly following YNOT Cammunity.
