MIAMI, Fl. – Exxxotica Miami Beach has partnered with XTube to present the First Annual Amateur Adult Film Awards (The AMMY Awards).
“This is like the People’s Choice Awards for the adult entertainment industry and the first one that is totally open only to amateur performers, writers and directors,” said J. Handy, the creator of Exxxotica. “It’s destined to be an annual event at Exxxotica.”
The AMMYS will feature amateur films both created by and voted on by true amateurs. Prizes include an AMMY Award (which doubles as a functioning video camera), flights to Miami, hotel rooms, VIP Tickets to Exxxotica, and XTube Money.
Winners will be announced at this year’s Exxxotica - Miami Beach, scheduled for April 18 through 20, 2008, at the Miami Beach Convention Center (1901 Convention Center Drive, in South Beach).
“We recognized amateur was one of the fastest-growing areas of the Adult Industry and we wanted to give both the performers and fans of this niche something to enter and watch,” continued Handy.
“With all the advancements in home video equipment virtually anyone can make their own adult films,” said Lance Cassidy, founder of XTube.com. “More and more people are getting in front of the camera now and letting the world see exactly what they can do that’s fantastic.”
To enter, go to www.theammys.com. Competition for the AMMYS will fall into seven different categories including Best Male and Female Soloists, Hottest Couple, Video of the Year and more.
Nominated for Lifetime Achievement Awards are sex tape stars Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee, Kim Kardashian and Dustin Diamond.
“How do you put an Amateur Adult Award show without paying tribute to the founders of the entire genre?” said Cassidy. “We’re going to be inviting all of the nominees to join us in Miami. Keep your fingers crossed!”
