CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN Media Network formally invites 2026 AVN Awards nominees and other adult industry talent to submit their requests through the now-live Talent RSVP Site for passes to the 43rd annual AVN Awards Show, presented by MyFreeCams and taking place Saturday, January 24 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
To receive a complimentary pass to the Awards Show, talent MUST be registered for an AVN Expo Trade Badge. All legitimate adult talent who properly submit an RSVP by the deadline (see below) and secure a Trade Badge ahead of or upon their arrival to the AVN Expo will be allowed one complimentary Awards Show Pass.
The deadline to submit an RSVP is Sunday, January 4 at 11:59 p.m. PT. If an RSVP is approved, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address entered on the form. An Awards Show Pass reservation is not complete until a confirmation email is received.
If a performer wishes to bring a non-talent guest to the show, they should indicate in the designated field on the RSVP form that they wish to purchase a Companion Pass for their guest. Additionally, if a performer intends to sit at a purchased table with a certain company or other group, they should indicate this in the provided field for such. Should a performer indicate that they wish to purchase a Companion Pass for a non-talent guest, they will receive a follow-up email with details about how to do so.
Note that an RSVP is strictly for admission to the Awards Show, and not to be confused with a request for access to the Red Carpet. There is no request process for Red Carpet access—rather, it is granted on a case-by-case basis, and if granted, the according credentials will be included on the performer's Awards Show pass.
In addition, be advised that AVN Awards nominees are NOT automatically reserved a Pass to the Awards Show. There are also no individual invitations sent out to talent to attend the show. It is each talent's personal responsibility to inform AVN of their intent to attend the show through the Talent RSVP process.
Talent Awards Show passes will be distributed along with AVN Expo Talent badges at the Model Lounge in The Hideaway beginning at the opening of Expo registration on Tuesday, January 20. All are urged to collect their Passes as early as possible. An RSVP must be submitted by the January 4 deadline in order to reserve a Pass; however, submitting an RSVP does not guarantee admission or Red Carpet access. Talent who miss the RSVP deadline will be provided Passes based upon availability, with priority given to nominees.

**IMPORTANT**
AN RSVP FOR THE AVN AWARDS, IF APPROVED, DOES NOT GRANT YOU ACCESS TO THE AVN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT EXPO. YOU MUST SEPARATELY PURCAHSE AN EXPO TRADE BADGE OR SECURE ONE THROUGH AN EXHIBITOR (TALENT AGENCY, STUDIO, ETC.). AGAIN, TALENT MUST BE REGISTERED FOR AN AVN EXPO TRADE BADGE TO RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY AVN AWARDS PASS.
