MIAMI—The nominees for FlavaMen magazine’s second annual Blatino Awards have been announced. Now the magazine and parent company, gay adult studio Flava Works, seek the public’s input to help select the winners in 24 categories.
The Blatino Awards honor ethnic clubs, adult performers, websites, companies and individuals.
“We have a diverse group of nominees, and we’re looking forward to having the public vote for their choices,” said Flava Works Operations Manager Warren Bullock. “Based on feedback from last year we’ve added more categories, and in general it’s our goal to up the ante in every aspect.”
Online voting will remain open through Aug. 15 at BlatinoAwards.com. Nominees will find promotional banners at the website, as well.
The Second Annual FlavaMen Blatino Awards ceremony will take place Sept. 3 in Atlanta, during the city’s Gay Black Pride celebration.
