2018 StorErotica Awards Winners Announced

2018 StorErotica Awards Winners Announced

CLEARWATER, Fla. — The winners of the 12th Annual StorErotica Awards were announced the summertime ANME Founders Show in Burbank, Calif. 

Sunny Rodgers, renowned sexual health educator and brand manager for Diamond Products and ACS, returned as hostess for the evening’s festivities.

“The industry turned out in full force to support one another at this year's STOREROTICA Awards,” said SE’s Marketing and PR Director, Kristofer Kay. “More than anything, this event is meant to celebrate brands and retailers as a unified community, and with each passing show, it feels like we're achieving that goal. Once again, SE would like to thank Valerie Jones and the entire ANME staff, the staff of the Burbank Marriott Airport Hotel, photographer Farley Magadia, our outstanding hostess, Sunny Rodgers, our nominees and 2018 winners.”

Nominees for the 2018 SE Awards were gathered in part by pre-nomination voting at the StorEroticaAwards.com site, which was live from April 20 to May 4. Once completed, SE’s editorial staff compiled the votes along with independent polling that was conducted personally with retailers, distributors and manufacturers, to create the Final SE Awards ballot.

This year also marked the first time ever in the show’s history that ANME had an Official Program Guide, a guide which was produced by StorErotica, the company said.

“The reaction we received from the vendors was truly fantastic and we look forward to providing ANME with the same level of quality publishing for years to come,” said Kay of the Official ANME Program Guide. “We wanted to provide attendees with more, and our partnership with the Founders allows us to do so, hence the Guide. It's these little differences that help SE standout among the other trade magazines and provides additional value to ANME.”
