LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Pre-nominations have officially opened for the 2026 Trans Erotica Awards (TEAs) presented by Clips4Sale, the show’s organizers announced Monday.
The pre-nomination period for the 2026 edition of the TEAs runs through Saturday, November 15, according to the announcement. Winners will be announced from the stage on March 8, 2026, at the historic Avalon theatre in Hollywood, California.
“TEA season is now in full swing,” said TEA Executive Producer, Kristel Penn. “Our pre-nomination period invites our industry and fans to submit their picks for consideration for the 2026 TEAs in select categories. We use this as an opportunity to widen our scope when reviewing potential nominations to ensure all quality, qualifying content has been considered.””
You can submit your pre-nominations on the TEA website at TEAShow.com/ pre-nomination-voting.
Clips4Sale was named the Presenting Sponsor of the TEAs last week, with the company also serving as the sponsor of the event’s official Pre-Party and the “Clips4Sale Trans Creator of the Year” award, which was won last year by Ria Bentley.
“We’re honored to have Clips4Sale as both our Presenting and Pre-Party Sponsor,” Penn said. “Their commitment and enthusiasm to sponsor both events is a testament to their investment in our industry. The TEAs are, at its heart, an event for our community and one that we try to make as accessible as possible for both our guests and potential sponsors. So many performers in our genre utilize Clips4Sale as integral parts of their businesses, so it’s wonderful to have the company demonstrate its support in this meaningful way.”
First launched by Grooby as an online competition, the TEAs has evolved into a popular in-person event welcoming individuals from the trans adult industry from around the globe. This year’s show will kick off with the Official Pre-Party on March 6 at the Bardot (the Avalon’s connecting property), followed by the awards program on March 8 at the Avalon. According to the announcement, “entertainment details will be revealed closer to the show.”
