We recommend encouraging your biggest fans to vote for you daily, as winners are determined entirely by public vote. Those with the most votes when the competition closes will be announced as winners at the awards show in August. Actively engaging with your fans and promoting your brand significantly increases your chances of winning while also helping you attract new fans and followers. Fans can vote once every 24 hours, so consider pinning your voting link to your Twitter profile to make it easier for them to support you. This strategy not only boosts your chances of winning but also strengthens your connection with your audience.

We provide free promotion to all entrants through our social media platforms and targeted marketing campaigns, ensuring broad exposure. On the night of the event, press coverage is invited, and we offer filming and interview opportunities for those seeking additional promotion. This creates lasting visibility for both nominees and winners, extending the benefits well beyond the awards ceremony and enhancing their profiles within the lifestyle and adult industries. By leveraging these promotional opportunities, participants can significantly boost their visibility and engagement, helping them to build a stronger presence and connect with a wider audience.

We have a creative and ethical vision that focuses on connecting people and fostering networking opportunities within a safe and supportive space. To uphold these values, we reserve the right to reject any nomination that does not align with our mission. The well-being, safety, and care of those we work with are our top priorities, and we are committed to maintaining an environment that reflects these principles. All decisions regarding nominations and awards are final. By ensuring that our standards are met, we aim to create a positive and respectful community where everyone can thrive and feel valued.

The ASN Awards are happening in Florida on August 21–22, 2026 at The Plaza Live! Celebrate the adult entertainment and lifestyle industries with red carpet photos, live entertainment, winner announcements, networking, cocktails, and an exclusive after party. Got questions?

While the awards are hosted in the United States, they are open to applicants from around the world. As an inclusive brand, we believe that everyone in the adult entertainment and lifestyle industries deserves recognition and promotion, no matter where they are located. Our goal is to celebrate talent globally, ensuring that geographical boundaries do not limit the opportunity for individuals and businesses to be honored for their contributions to the industry. By embracing a worldwide perspective, we aim to highlight the diverse and rich talent pool that exists across different regions, fostering a sense of unity and appreciation within the community.

Public voting ensures a fair and transparent judging process by eliminating the potential bias of a small panel of judges. The term “Best” is inherently subjective, and allowing the public to vote helps ensure a broader and more inclusive measure of success. Additionally, the most popular entrants are often those who actively promote themselves and engage with their fans, demonstrating dedication to their craft. We believe this hard work deserves recognition, and public voting is the best way to honor those efforts. This approach not only celebrates popularity but also acknowledges the commitment and engagement of participants, making the awards more representative of the community’s voice.

Self-nomination offers newer or smaller brands and individuals the opportunity to participate and be recognized alongside established performers with larger fan bases. While well-known figures may have the advantage of widespread support, self-nomination levels the playing field by allowing those working hard to build their presence to get involved. It’s a valuable way for emerging talent to gain exposure, showcase their efforts, and potentially attract a larger audience. This inclusive approach ensures that dedication and hard work are acknowledged, providing a platform for all participants to shine and grow within their industry.

Even if you don’t win, the ASN Awards are designed to benefit all participants. You'll receive significant promotion, networking opportunities, and the chance to make new connections. This event celebrates excellence and individuality in the lifestyle and adult industry community. You can leverage the exposure to enhance your visibility, build valuable relationships, and engage with a broader audience, making the experience rewarding regardless of the outcome.
