AVN Media Network announced today that the gay XXX industry's biggest night of the year, the GAYVN Awards, will be held once again at the Rage nightclub in West Hollywood, California.
The show will take place on Thursday, March 9, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The invitation-only event is limited to talent, nominees, nominated studios, sponsors, members of the adult entertainment industry, and their guests.
“This annual event has grown twenty percent each year over the last three years and we expect this growth pattern to continue. The industry coming together to celebrate each other’s achievements is a great foundation for the industry’s future business successes,” stated Chad Beecher, VP, business development, GAYVN. “AVN is proud to be a part of this exciting and successful program.”
"The 2005 show exceeded all expectations," said GAYVN Editor Doug Lawrence. "From the record-setting attendance to food, bar, and entertainment to the awards presentations by Chi Chi LaRue, Gino Colbert, and the "trophy boys," it was a high-energy evening and our most successful event at Rage yet. And I know that the 2006 Awards ceremony is going to be even better!" The event includes a gourmet dinner, cocktails, gifts, and the awards show program. Adult entertainment industry big diva Chi Chi LaRue will once again host the GAYVN Awards show.
"I'm honored to again be a part of the GAYVN awards. I truly love this business and I wish everyone all the luck and success they deserve. Gay porn rocks!" exclaimed LaRue.
