CANOGA PARK, Calif. – Adult industry trade association Free Speech Coalition on Friday announced the recipients of the 2015 FSC Awards. The honors recognize professionals and businesses for excellence in their fields and representing a pro-adult image through advocacy and actions.

FSC added a new award this year in honor of late FSC board member Christian Mann. Called the Christian Mann Courage and Leadership Award, it is given to a member of the adult entertainment or pleasure products community who has shown exemplary courage and leadership in standing up and fighting for the rights and image of the industry.

The award recipients are:

Legacy Award: Phil Harvey
The Legacy Award is given to an individual who, though innovative ideas and successful business practices, has built a solid presence in the adult entertainment industry. Furthermore, the individual has gone above and beyond not only to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals and businesses within the industry, but also to improve the stature of the industry as a whole. The award is called the Legacy Award rather than a lifetime achievement award because while the individual has done much to build an outstanding legacy, FSC suspects the individual’s contributions are far from over.

Performer of the Year Award: Chanel Preston
Performer of the Year is a positive-image award for performers who—through advocacy, public awareness programs and community service—have gone out of their way to dispel myths and misconceptions about the adult entertainment industry.

Man of the Year: Christian Mann
Woman of the Year: Lorelei Lee
The Man and Woman of the Year awards go to individuals who have displayed exceptional leadership qualities both within their own business and throughout the industry.
