CHATSWORTH, Calif.—The final nominees for the fourth annual “O” Awards have been selected, and the winners will be announced during the ceremony, scheduled for Sept. 11 at the AVN Novelty Expo, held Sept. 10-12 at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
"Every year, it gets harder and harder for the committee to finalize the nominees, because the manufacturers continue to raise the bar when it comes to quality products," said Sherri L. Shaulis. "This year saw a lot of blood, sweat and tears put into the decision-making process. It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it."
The "O" Awards, which are sponsored this year by California Exotic Novelties and Jopen, will see 16 trophies given away in a number of categories designed to recognize the best of the best in the pleasure products industry, including design, innovation and marketing.
Finalists were culled from pre-nominations submitted by various companies, including manufacturers, distributors and retailers, and then voted on by a panel of industry experts. The winners will be chosen by a separate panel of voters and—in some cases—registered attendees of the AVN Novelty Expo.
The “O” Awards are open to all registered attendees of the AVN Novelty Expo.
