2019 Transgender Erotica Awards Announces Key Dates

LOS ANGELES — Organizers of the Transgender Erotica Awards (TEAs) have announced key dates and locations for their 2019 show.

The 11th annual TEAs and related events will be held March 15-17 at the Avalon Hollywood venue, as well as Bardot nightclub, located within Avalon Hollywood.

"The TEAs continues to be the only event of its kind, celebrating the accomplishments of the trans adult industry,” a rep said. “From its humble beginnings as an online competition, hosted by Grooby, it has since expanded into a three-day event drawing in guests from all over the world."

"Although it is a lot of blood, sweat and tears, the TEAs are consistently the highlight of my work year,” Executive Producer Kristel Penn said. “Steven Grooby and I start planning the event earlier and earlier each year, to ensure everything goes smoothly when the time comes.”

Grooby expressed excitement about the upcoming show. “As we head into our eleventh year of the TEAs, we’re aiming for our best show yet. We’re hoping to see many of our longtime sponsors return, in addition to expanding our reach overall,” he said. “Sponsors should feel good knowing their contribution directly contributes to the show and celebrates the hard work of the trans adult industry.”

The show schedule includes a pre-party March 15 at the Bardot and a daytime fan convention on March 16, followed by the awards ceremony on March 17 at the Avalon Hollywood.
