XAWARDS 2019: A Full Preview

Heard about the new awards’ ceremony on the block?

The 2019 X Awards will honour those businesses and individuals that contribute to the Australian Adult Industry and is set to become a much-anticipated event on the calendar. From movies and pleasure products, retail and distribution to web, technology and entertainment businesses there is a category of gong to honour all. Not to be confused with the Australian Adult Industry Awards, the X Awards is a brand-new honours system for 2019 which aims to shine a spotlight on all areas of both the red-light sector and the mainstream retail, production and entertainment businesses.

In this guide, we give you a full preview of what to expect from the awards night itself as well as a run down of all the award categories and the current nominees.

What Are the X Awards?

Celebrating the achievements of the Australian adult industry in 2019, the X Awards is a brand-new awards night to be held in Melbourne this autumn. Showcasing the success stories of retail brands, escorts and their agencies as well as brothels, porn stars and adult film studios the inaugural night is expected to be a prestigious affair with attendees from across the industry representing large scale enterprises as well as small independents and individuals.

With more than 35 gongs to give out, the X Awards will be a comprehensive evening of recognition to those companies, individuals and service providers that help keep Australian adults entertained.

On the night, guests can expect arrival drinks and canapes with live entertainment dispersed throughout the awards’ ceremony as well as industry hosts.

There will be a red-carpet arrival with media and marketing plus photograph opportunities.

There is also the promise of surprise guests and giveaways to further tempt you to book your tickets now to, what promises to be, a glittering event.

However the evening pans out the sheer volume of industry representatives will make it an important networking opportunity and should be a whole lot of fun to boot.
