TAMPA, FL—The NightMoves Awards organizers remind fans that the final week of fan voting has begun for the 21st Annual Awards Show; the deadline for votes is 11:59pm, Sunday, Sept. 15. Fans can see the list of nominees and categories, and log their votes for their favorite performers, directors, films, and feature dance performances here.
NightMoves Awards, started in 1993, is the third oldest and continuously running adult awards show in the United States, trailing only the AVN Awards and the XRCO Awards. The NightMoves Awards were the first to allow fans to select the winners, making it the original Fan Based Awards, as well as the first awards show to allow on-line voting. In addition to the Fan Awards, the show presents Editor’s Choice awards based on reviews of DVDs in which the nominated performer has appeared.
“Voting has been tremendous this year. We have received nearly 20,000 votes on our National Ballot and with only one vote per IP address allowed… 20,000 individual votes just blows me away,” said Tracy Allen, editor of NightMoves magazine and co-producer of the NightMoves Awards. “I am expecting another wave of voting this week, as it’s the final chance for Fans to have their voice be heard. Good luck to all of our Nominees and their fans!”
The NightMoves Awards are more than a one-night awards show; it is a fun-filled, exciting, ultra-busy weekend that includes "Star Caravan" events at local nightclubs and multiple radio appearances. In addition, fans will be able to meet and interact with performers at the NightMoves Fan Fest, where stars sign autographs and take photos. For a full schedule of appearances and events, visit here.
“Every year we say, ‘This year, we’re going to cut back on the number of stars we bring to Tampa,’ and then every year we get so many great performers who want to come to the NightMoves Awards Weekend,” said Paul Allen, publisher/founder of NightMoves. “We just can’t say no! At last count we were up to, I think, 36. This is going to be a great year!”
