BURBANK, Calif.—Grooby Productions announced Shemale.com as the first official sponsor of the Seventh Annual Transgender Erotica Awards. The company is returning to sponsor the coveted Best New Face Award and its $1,000 cash prize, a title currently held by TS star Kim Bella.
"We are very happy to be part of the Transgender Erotica Awards once again," said a Shemale.com spokesperson. "Working with Grooby Productions as a Platinum Plus sponsor to bring yet another successful awards show to the transgender community is an exciting prospect and we look forward to this cooperation once again. We will also be the Fortune Cookies sponsor at the 2015 award show, which brings with it our very special surprise for all visitors to the event."
Formerly known as the Tranny Awards, the event was re-branded in early 2014 as the Transgender Erotica Awards. Originally created in 2007, it started as an online competition voted by a panel of industry judges with cash prizes sponsored by Grooby Productions. As interest grew, it was expanded into an actual awards event, now with more than 20 categories and industry sponsors like Shemale.com.
"Imlive and Shemale.com have been great supporters of this show and we enjoyed having them present last year, with one of the top transgender cam models on the site," said Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby. "They always come up with great ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can put together to make this show special for Shemale.com, the models, and fans."
Shemale.com celebrated its first birthday in mid-2014. In the short time since its launch, it has garnered a reputation as a trendy, popular and successful site for transgender women and the men who love them. Many exciting features are on offer on Shemale.com, including a wide selection of amazing hosts, exclusive videos on demand, a constantly-updated niche magazine and a list of Trans-friendly bars and clubs around the world.
The biggest coup took place earlier this year when Shemale.com signed up five top T-girl porn stars—Eva Lin, Sunshyne Monroe, Nadia, Delia DeLions and Bailey Jay—to appear regularly in live video chats and to write frequent blog posts and articles, all of which have been well-received and enjoyed by hosts and guests alike.

The official After Party will be held on Monday, February 16, 2014 at the Avalon's connecting property, the Bardot. Pre-sale tickets and sponsorship information can be found at TheTEAshow.com.
