PRAGUE (June 15, 2016) – As the adult industry’s first awards program to honor business leaders selected by their peers, not a panel of experts, the YNOT Awards present a true picture of the best and brightest. Now is the time for industry insiders to make their voices heard for the 2016 awards. Nominations and category suggestions are being accepted by email or via the contact form on the spiffy new YNOTawards.com.
During a gala celebration on Sept. 21, the sixth-annual YNOT Awards will honor the online adult industry’s best people; websites; revenue programs and traffic networks; webcam, dating and mobile companies; billing and service providers; industry events and more. In addition, a longtime industry company that has made lasting contributions to the business-to-business backbone of the online segment will be inducted into the YNOT Awards Hall of Fame.
Nominees will be announced in early July, and voting will take place from July 12 through Aug. 19. All voters’ industry membership must be verified before they are allowed to contribute. To register, click here.
“We are always open to suggestions when it comes to category and nominee selection and have a strong desire to accurately represent the industry through the collective voice of the YNOT audience,” said YNOT Awards producer and host Jay Kopita. “After all, it’s industry members who vote, and considering everyone with industry credentials gets an equal voice during the voting process, we also wish to hear those same voices during the category and nominee selection process.”
Once again, the awards gala will take place inside Mayakovsky Hall, a banquet facility within Prague’s opulent National House of Vinohrady. A Czech national landmark, the monument to classical European architecture dates to the late 19th Century. The property is decorated with crystal chandeliers, opulent murals and tapestries, and priceless artwork.
Those won’t be the only luxurious aspects of the 2016 YNOT Awards celebration, though. According to Kopita, sponsors and attendees who have purchased seats or tables will be treated to sophisticated entertainment in the best viewing areas of the venue while enjoying top-shelf cocktails and a gourmet dinner. Everyone else is invited to enjoy the ceremony from free seating in the balcony, where a cash bar will be available.
Table reservations may be made by emailing Kopita — quickly, as more than half of the dinner seats have been reserved.
“Overall attendance numbers this year are expected to exceed last year’s record of 400,” Kopita said.
As in previous years, the sixth-annual celebration will take place during The European Summit. Complimentary transportation will be provided to and from the awards show venue.
The 2016 YNOT Awards, hosted by industry news and networking site YNOT.com, are presented by exclusive Platinum sponsors Fleshlight and its affiliate program, FNCash. Gold sponsors include Traffic Company, First Mobile Cash, Charm Studios, Affil4You, PussyCash, Y.E.S. Studio, EroAdvertising, PlugRush, Studio 20 and the Live Cam Awards.
