BERLIN – MyDirtyHobby has once again won the “Best Amateur Community” category at the VENUS Awards 2026. The gala on 22 October opened the 29th VENUS Berlin. It is the platform’s seventh consecutive win in this category, following 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. No VENUS Awards were held in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This brings MyDirtyHobby’s total to ten VENUS Awards. These include the awards for Best Amateur Website Germany in 2010 and 2011 and for Best New Amateur DVD Series in 2011.
This year, the ceremony took place at the TIPI am Kanzleramt for the first time, after several years at the Wintergarten Varieté. Roxxy X and Mola Adebisi hosted the evening.
“Seven times in a row as the best amateur community – we are proud of that. This award belongs to our amateurs, who have shaped MyDirtyHobby for 20 years. Real, approachable and self-determined: that is what our platform stands for,” says a MyDirtyHobby spokesperson.
At the fair from 22 to 25 October, MyDirtyHobby once again focused on closeness to fans and entertainment. Texas Patti hosted the stage programme on all four days. The multi-award-winning performer and AVN Hall of Fame member led interviews, challenges and fan activities.
Micaela Schäfer had her own talk and podcast area at the MDH booth. From Thursday to Saturday, she was live there for two hours each day, interviewing creators and guests and recording a live podcast.
New this year was a digital slot machine where everyone won. Whether a small surprise or the grand prize, nobody went home empty-handed on any of the four days.
Brand ambassadors Schnuggie91, Fiona-Fuchs, Daynia and Jenny_Stella met their fans every day for meet & greets, selfies and autograph sessions. They were joined by around 30 popular amateur stars, including Emma_Wolf, NataiaVelvet, Lena_Desire, LolaPrive, HoneyMeli, Arya_LaRoca, Cat-Coxx, Layla_von_Hohensee, Lea_Kirsch, GianninaTS, Maja-Bach, LolaCandy, JulieDevine, AlexaCreed, Sydney_Schmid, Savagexcherry, Becca-Peel, NoraNoxx, AliceSorell, Lucie_Bavarina, Wet-Wonder, Melly-4-You, ArielRossi, SuSiSorglos and TieMeUpTess.
