LOS ANGELES—Str8UpGayPorn.com has announced that Flirt4Free, a premiere live webcam company, will be a presenting sponsor of the 2018 Str8UpGayPorn Awards, which will take place live from Hollywood, California.
Flirt4Free was a platinum sponsor of last year's show, and this year increased its participation level after the success of the inaugural ceremony held in New York City. That show ushered in a first for the gay porn industry: an awards show professionally filmed and streamed live on a highly trafficked platform, to an audience of highly engaged fans, after which it would live forever online for on-demand viewing. Between the live streaming and on-demand audience, this has resulted in over 40,000 views of the 2017 ceremony thus far.
Jamie Rodriguez, Flirt4Free's Director of Product, said of the high value presenting sponsorship, "We're thrilled to be involved with the Str8UpGayPorn Awards again this year and it only made sense after last year's success that we take the presenting sponsorship this year. We are excited with the 2018 line-up and it looks as if this year is shaping up to be even bigger than last. It's sure to be a high profile event with a lot of exposure for the industry, which is great for all of us. See everyone in Hollywood!"
The 2018 Str8UpGayPorn awards will be held at the historic Avalon Hollywood on October 21, 2018 and will feature some of the gay adult industry's top stars, studios, and executives under one roof to celebrate the industry's successes. Hosted by comedian, actor, and drag star Bianca Del Rio along with co-hosts gay adult stars Blake Mitchell and Boomer Banks, this year's viewership numbers are expected to surpass last year's.
Davyd Dixon, Executive Producer of the Str8UpGayPorn Awards and co-owner of Str8UpGayPorn, stated, "I couldn't be more happy to have Flirt4Free presenting this year's ceremony. Their support for the gay side of this industry is unparalleled, really. We haven't seen a cam company with such close ties to and relationships with our side of the industry. They have successfully engaged the gay audience and gay side of the business like no one else. This high dollar investment in our show is another extension of that."
Tickets are on sale now for the second annual Str8UpGayPornAwards at Str8UpGayPornAwards.com.
