YNOT Awards Honor 25 in 2012
YNOT – More than 400 online adult industry professionals packed trendy Prague nightspot SaSaZu Tuesday for the second annual YNOT Awards celebration.
The 90-minute awards show was webcast live using 2much.net’s MiriCam, the multi-channel audio-video chat platform that powers the software development company’s Live Cam Network.
As part of his co-hosting duties, YNOT’s vice president and resident wild man LAJ sang … twice. As they say in show business, “the show must go on” despite bumps in the road.
The mission of the YNOT Awards is to provide the adult industry with an impartial means of recognizing excellence in the adult internet business. This year, organizers added four new categories — Best New Adult Brand, Best Adult Company Rep, Marketing Campaign of the Year and Innovator of the Year — for a total of 25 awards. The categories and nominees were selected by a panel of webmasters, business owners, industry support personnel and performers, but the winners were determined by industry-wide voting.
A complete list of nominees is available here.
