HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—YNOT Events has announced its inaugural YNOT Cam Awards. The event will take place on October 24 at the historic Avalon Hollywood.
The show is industry-only and invitation-only, and will include entertainment, full dinner service and open bar for VIP guests, in addition to honoring some of the biggest stars and most talented performers from the adult webcam sector.
“This event will truly represent the entire adult webcam sector,” said Jay Kopita, co-owner of YNOT. “We’re humbled with how enthusiastic our sponsors and supporters have been and also with the excitement we’ve heard from cam models around the world. We’re looking forward to an unforgettable night in Hollywood.”
Platinum sponsors of the inaugural YNOT Cam Awards Hollywood include ImLive, Chaturbate, Studio20 and Flirt4Free. Cam models from all cam platforms and studios will be invited to participate in the nomination process. Winners will be determined by popular vote.
“YNOT has always known how to present an awards show that is glamorous, exciting and goes a step beyond the stereotype of adult entertainment awards ceremonies,” said Shirley Lara of Chaturbate. “There is also a mission to everything YNOT undertakes, and a large part of it is helping the public opinion surrounding adult entertainment to evolve.”
Platinum sponsor ImLive voiced similar sentiments.
“For us, it made a lot of sense to support YNOT’s mission, which is to honor hardworking models and change the narrative about what modern adult entertainment really looks like online,” said Chloe Kirton of ImLive.
The YNOT Cam Awards provides the adult webcam industry with a platform to showcase the positive impact of live social interaction on the online adult entertainment industry. Webcams provide performers with an unprecedented level of control, while creating empowering opportunities for performers who might previously have been marginalized due to gender, looks or sexuality.
“Live webcams have provided an avenue of increased empowerment to women in the adult entertainment industry and the YNOT Cam Awards strongly recognize that truth, which coincides very well with how Chaturbate views our broadcasters and our business relationship with them,” added Lara. “Shared goals are always important for the advancement of everyone in our industry and that makes Chaturbate’s sponsorship of the YNOT Cam awards such a perfect fit.”
The participation of Gold sponsor iWantEmpire helps highlight the interactive focus of the YNOT Cam Awards, and fellow Gold sponsor FreeWebCams is also on board. The broad support for the event ensures the YNOT Cam Awards will be a truly representative experience for the interactive sector of online adult entertainment.
“The YNOT Cam Awards will give the models a fantastic night of fun in Hollywood, of course, but it will also highlight exactly how the cam industry is unique from other adult entertainment business models,” added Kirton. “ImLive is committed to providing models with a fun platform where they have control over their own shows and make great money in a safe and innovative environment, and we’re proud to be Platinum sponsors of the first ever YNOT Cam Awards.”
Platinum sponsor Studio20 said the company is selective in the events it supports.
“Studio20, international live cam studio franchise, is happy to be sponsoring the YNOT Cam Awards,” said Andra Chirnogeanu of Studio20. “We choose our partners carefully and always work with the ones that can put our business in the spotlight, as we do with the cam models that work with us. Our continuous work in the last years in the adult entertainment industry and the recognition that we got from industry professionals has only made us strive for greatness and confirm our motto: ‘We succeed together.'”
Jamie Rodriguez of Flirt4Free sees the company’s Platinum sponsorship as a great way to reward cam models and support the company’s outreach efforts.
“We’re happy to have another way to support the YNOT team and an additional avenue for reaching cam models and rewarding them,” said Rodriguez. “We look forward to the first YNOT Cam Awards and taking part in this inaugural event.”
