LAS VEGAS—AltPorn.net is now taking pre-nominations for its Best of 2025 AltStar Awards (aka the AltPorn Awards), presented by adult novelty company Bad Dragon.
On June 14, the AltStar Awards return to Las Vegas, with a gala red carpet event and presentation. Event photos from past years can be seen here. The awards show caps off the AltStar Expo, which will be held June 11 to June 13. For schedule, tickets and accommodation details, visit the AltPorn blog here. Organizers encourage attendees to book hotel rooms and reserve tickets early.
Talent interested in signing at the Expo’s Fan Appreciation Day can contact show organizers using this form.
“It feels amazing that AltPorn.net has been covering all things AltPorn for well over two decades now, and we always enjoy the time of year when we can expand on the recognition and appreciation that all of our creative alternative erotica friends and crushes deserve,” an AltPorn representative said. “As we do every year, we’re accepting recommendations for all the categories from the fans, models and producers, as well as our own editorial board of judges. If you know of any work produced in 2025 that really deserves attention for being outstanding, please hit up our nominations form.
“We introduced some new categories a few years ago, especially for indie-produced clips and premium social media. Last year, we introduced an award for toy 3D asset designers. If, as the world changes, and alt drives adult and adult drives the future, you can think of categories we should add, please suggest them," the rep added.
Users can nominate in one category or all, and AltPorn’s panel of judges will qualify nominations in each category.
Prospective nominees are encouraged to appeal for pre-nominations from fans and colleagues, and for those pre-noms to be shared on social media, including X and Bluesky. A promotional graphic maker is available for those campaigning for nominations here.
Nomination hopefuls are also encouraged to contact awards show organizers to share any promotional materials including content and products. Nominations are open for content and products produced in 2025.
The deadline for nominations is 11:59 p.m. CT on April 23. For more information, visit AltPorn.net.
