The Envelope Please: 2018 YNOT Awards Voting Begins
PRAGUE – Voting has opened for the 2018 YNOT Awards, the 8th annual edition of the online adult industry’s original peer-picked awards show.
Set for Saturday September 15 at Mayakovsky Hall in Prague, this year’s edition of the YNOT Awards promises to be the biggest and best yet, as winners in 36 categories will be recognized by their adult industry colleagues for the excellence of their work.
The polls opened July 9 and will close on August 17. If seven previous editions of the YNOT Awards are any indication, the race for each award will be very tight, so every vote will matter greatly in determining who takes home the prize.
Members of the online adult industry with an activated YNOT ID may log-in here to vote. Others may register at YNOTID.com. Voters must be actively employed in the adult industry at the time they cast a ballot; all accounts will be screened for eligibility.

Those without reservations may enjoy the ceremony from free seating in the balcony, where a cash bar will be available.
More than half the dinner tables available for the event have already been sold, so those who would like to be seated in the main floor area should contact YNOT co-owner and awards show organizer Jay Kopita via email jay@ynot.com, or on Skype at LAJConsulting to reserve seats as soon as possible.
The VIP treatment at the show comes courtesy of exclusive Platinum sponsor Rich Girls Studios.
