CHATSWORTH, Calif. – Adult industry members working in the online sector have five days to help decide the winners of the fifth-annual GFY Awards. Awards will be presented in 24 categories designed to recognize the people, companies, services and products industry members believe excel at what they do.

Launched in 2001 as an adult webmaster forum, GFY quickly gained notoriety—some say outright infamy—for providing both useful information and vicious diatribes, gossip and interpersonal drama of mammoth proportions. In keeping with the forum’s unique personality, when the awards debuted in 2011, the majority were tongue in cheek. This year’s categories are intended to be taken seriously.

Only Registered GFY members who have made 25 or more posts in the site’s forums may vote, and each voter is limited to one vote per category.

Categories for the 2015 awards are:

• Best Advertising Network
• Best Adult CPA network
• Best Affiliate Program
• Best Billing Company
• Best Business Thread of the Year
• Best Content Producer
• Best Content Provider
• Best Content Partnership Program
