PREGANZIOL, Italy—Nominations for the 2025 DSN Awards have been revealed. Voting is now open and will close at midnight on Thursday, May 1.
The DSN Awards will take place on Sunday, May 18, at the New Mille Lire venue in Preganziol (Province of Treviso), Italy. The event will serve as the grand finale of Italian erotic expo Veneto Sex.
Categories are divided into Italian and International, with many U.S. companies, performers and directors up for major awards.
Veteran, multi-awarded U.S. director Will Ryder will receive the DSN Lifetime Recognition Award, honoring his career and list of credits that include some of the parody genre's most defining titles, like Not the Bradys (2007), as well as his work for studios including Hustler and Adam & Eve. Ryder told AVN he may travel to Italy for the red carpet event.
Winners will be unveiled during the awards ceremony, hosted by Italian industry icons Lisa Amane and Marika Vitale.
The DSN Awards are organized by Doppio Senso Night, an adult TV talk show dedicated to eroticism and transgression, created and hosted by Massimo Bonera since its launch in 2011.
