AVN Fan Awards pre-nominations are officially open, and Rachel Steele is calling on her loyal community to help her earn a place on the ballot for 2026.

With categories like Favorite MILF Star, Favorite Independent Female Creator, Favorite Female Porn Star, Social Media Queen, Favorite Porn Star Creator, Hottest Studio Newcomer, Unsung Darling, Most Amazing Ass and Most Spectacular Boobs in play, Steele is excited to be in the running – and grateful to those taking time to show their support.

“This has been an amazing year, and I’m just so thankful for everyone who’s been part of it with me,” said Steele. “The AVN Fan Awards are special because it’s not just about numbers or studios – it’s about the real people who watch, connect and stick around. If you’ve ever felt something from my work, I’d love your vote.”

Pre-nominations are open to both fans and industry members now through September 20, with winners to be announced at the 2026 AVN Awards Show – set to take place Saturday, January 24 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
