PRAGUE—The fifth annual YNOT Awards will honor 33 of the online adult industry’s best websites, revenue and traffic programs, billing and mobile companies, content and service providers and industry events. The gala celebration is slated for Sept. 23.
In addition, a longtime industry insider who has made lasting contributions to the business-to-business backbone of the online segment will be inducted into the YNOT Awards Hall of Fame.
As the adult industry’s first awards program to honor business leaders selected by their peers, not a panel of experts, the YNOT Awards present a true picture of the best and brightest. A list of categories is here.
Voting for the honorees will begin this week and continue through August. All voters’ industry membership will be verified before they are allowed to contribute. To confirm status and cast a ballot, click here.
Once again, the awards gala will take place inside Mayakovsky Hall, a banquet facility within Prague’s opulent National House of Vinohrady. A Czech national landmark, the monument to classical European architecture dates to the late 19th Century. The property is decorated with crystal chandeliers, opulent murals and tapestries, and priceless artwork.
Those won’t be the only luxurious aspects of the 2015 YNOT Awards celebration, though. According to organizer and YNOT GROUP LLC Vice President Jay Kopita, sponsors and attendees who have purchased seats or tables will be entertained by a string quartet while enjoying top-shelf cocktails, hors de oeuvres and a gourmet dinner. Everyone else is invited to enjoy the presentation of awards from free viewing areas in the balcony, where a cash bar will be available.
The awards presentation takes only 90 minutes, leaving plenty of time for networking or simply relaxing in an extraordinary setting.
“This is a glamorous event,” Kopita said. “The venue is spectacular, the food will be awesome and the entertainment this year is upscale and classy. The entire evening is always elegant enough to be first-class, but casual enough to be fun.”
As in previous years, the fifth annual celebration will take place during The European Summit. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, complimentary transportation will be provided to and from the awards show.
The 2015 YNOT Awards, hosted by industry news and networking site YNOT.com, are presented by Fleshlight and its affiliate program, FNCash. Sponsors include EroAdvertising, PlugRush, Studio 20, Affil4You, Live Cam Awards, W2Mobile, TrafficJunky, AdultFriendFinder, and Brazzers.
