ST. PETERSBURG, FL—The winners of the 3rd annual Fetish Awards, held on August 12 at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront Hotel, have been announced. The award show, sponsored for the second time by Chaturbate, was held in conjunction with Fetish Con, a four-day event now in its 18th year.
“The 2018 Fetish Awards were a huge success! The fans had their say, and we saw returning winners as well as brand new faces receiving honors. It is our goal to shine the spotlight on the hard work and endeavor of everyone in the industry, and to award those who stand out from the crowd and catch the public’s attention,” said event promoter Genesis Lynn. “Once again, we invited the public to tell us their fetish favorites, and they delivered – with over 35,000 votes. We’re thrilled to honor the achievements of all of our winners. Congratulations!
“We are so thankful to Clips4Sale for their 13th year as the presenting sponsor of Fetish Con. Neil has always been so supportive of the show, and we are honored to have forged such a long and wonderful relationship with him and his company,” Lynn added. “We had so many returning sponsors as well this year: Whiplr, Chaturbate, and KinkyMuscle, as well as some fantastic new sponsors, who have helped us grow the trade show; for that, we are so appreciative of their support.”
The Fetish Awards highlight and honor those who have been integral to the overall growth of the fetish and alternative industry. Whether they are a model or an actor, a producer or a production company, a live stage performer or web cam model, a fetish/alternative clothing company or an adult toy/novelty company, organizers invited the public to nominate their favorites.
Kicking off with its Kinky [RED] Carpet at 7 p.m. ET, the Fetish Awards began at 9 p.m. ET. Entertainment during the 2018 Fetish Awards featured a burlesque performance by Lady Karma, as well as The Royal Fetish Experience, featuring King Noire and Jet Setting Jasmine. The gala evening then extended into the 18th Annual Fetish Ball & Bash, also sponsored by Chaturbate, until the early morning hours. Attendees were entertained by two live acts: LOVEBots, featuring Mio Hikaru, Apollo Infiniti, and Lilith Black, and the Reverend B. Dangerous Freak Show.
