PRAGUE, Czech Republic – The 2014 YNOT Awards already has set records for voting and ceremony reservations, and the winners won’t even be announced until the gala celebration Sept. 23. Not bad for a four-year-old endeavor some industry folks predicted wouldn’t last.

But YNOT can be stubborn that way.

“We designed the YNOT Awards to be a true representation of the business-to-business environment within the online adult industry,” said YNOT Group Vice President Jay Kopita, who has organized the awards events since the beginning. “We’re grateful the industry has embraced the YNOT Awards, and we’re ecstatic about the way they’ve grown. This year’s gala will host the biggest crowd ever, hands down.”

VIP tables for the cocktails-and-hors d’oeuvres hour, gourmet dinner and floorshow with open bar are about 90 percent sold out, Kopita added, but no one who wants to attend will be turned away. Those without VIP reservations will find room in the balcony, where a cash bar, but no food, will be available.

The awards ceremony will feature not only lovely co-host Alexandra of Diva Foot Fetish fame, but also the hot-as-hell Fleshlight Girls as trophy presenters, thanks to presenting sponsor FNCash and its flagship website, Fleshlight.com. In addition, acclaimed Beatles cover band Brouci will perform.

Voting to determine the winners in 29 categories continues online through Sept. 12, and the numbers there have set a record, too, Kopita said.

“So far, more than 1,000 industry people have registered to vote,” he said.

The fourth-annual YNOT Awards ceremony will take place Sept. 23 inside the historic Czech landmark National House of Vinohrady during The European Summit’s fall conference. In addition to presenting sponsor FNCash, sponsors include PlugRush, Brazzers, Webbilling, Affil4You, MojoHost, EroAdvertising, Grand Slam Media, w2mobile, TrafficJunky, SexGoesMobile, Adult Force and RIVCash.
