CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Adult industry members are invited to begin submitting their pre-nominations starting today for movies, scenes and performers to be considered for the 2027 GayVN Awards Show.
All working members of the industry can pre-nominate until the deadline, which this year will close promptly at 11:59 p.m. the night of September 15, and there will be no extension of this deadline.
The traditional deadline of September 30 to release submitted material commercially will remain in place.
The newly redesigned Pre-Nomination Site is located at: submissions.avn.com.
The 2027 GayVN Awards ceremony will take place on January 21, 2027 in Las Vegas.
Anyone who has previously been approved to use the Pre-Nomination Site may use the same login to access the site for this year's submissions. Those without a login must apply for access HERE.
For any questions about the Pre-Nominations Site, contact AVN managing editor Peter Warren at [email protected].
Pre-nominations are also now open for the 2027 AVN Awards, and industry members may request access to submit pre-nominations for that event as well using the same application form.
Complete eligibility rules for consideration in the various GayVN Video & Web categories may be found here.
