Date Set for Announcement of AVN Award Nominations

Nominations for the 2005 AVN Awards will be announced one week from today, on Friday, November 12.

The nominations will be posted on AVN.com at 2 p.m. Pacific time.

AVN senior associate editor Heidi Pike-Johnson said, "Companies need to send their product in to my attention as soon as possible so that everyone voting has plenty of time to view everything being considered. I cannot stress the urgency of getting these titles here promptly strongly enough."

Companies with nominations in the following categories must submit 30 copies of each title on DVD: Best Film, Best Video Feature, Best Gonzo Release, Best Sex Comedy, Best All-Sex Release and Best DVD.

Nominees in all other categories must submit 20 copies of each title on DVD. Companies with series under consideration should send representative volumes of the series that were released during 2004.

Nominations will then be reviewed for consideration by AVN's editorial staff and freelance reviewers, who will determine who the winners are by their votes.

Winners will be announced at the 22nd annual AVN Awards show, to be held on January 8, 2005, at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
