LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce that pre-noms are now open for the 2020 XBIZ Europa Awards, the adult industry’s biggest awards event in Europe, which is set for a worldwide broadcast on Oct. 22 via streaming network XBIZ.tv as the climactic finale to the first-ever virtual edition XBIZ Berlin conference.

In order to be eligible for consideration for an XBIZ Europa Award, movies/content and pleasure products must be released between Aug. 1, 2019 and Aug 31, 2020.

Industry members may submit pre-nomination entries via XBIZ.net. The deadline for entries is midnight, Aug. 31.
