BERLIN - The first EGPA Web Awards have been finalized in 26 categories of online endeavor. The awards were created by EGPA Ltd., which for two years has produced the European Gay Porn Awards.
The EGPA Web Awards are determined by consumer voting at the awards' website.
"We invite our visitors to first nominate and then select those individuals and companies that they feel deserve one of our much-longed-for and much-deserved awards," an EGPA spokesman said. "It's an essentially European celebration, of course, but the Web knows no geographical boundaries; hence, we welcome nominees from every quarter of the globe. So long as it serves the worldwide online gay community and it's hot, hot, hot, we're more than eager to revel in its glorious achievement."
Although EGPA hoped to present the Web awards in a gala ceremony similar to the one it hosted in May to fete the winners from the video side of the industry, a scheduling conflict with the Venus Adult Trade Fair could not be overcome.
"In light of all this we've decided to announce our list of inaugural winners a few days earlier than originally planned," the spokesman noted. "We'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate all our winners, and assure them that if they would be so kind as to confirm a suitable physical address, their prize will be sent through in the next few weeks."
