LOS ANGELES — Organizers of the Transgender Erotica Awards (TEAs) have formally opened their pre-nominations period and will accept submissions through November 13.
TEAs Executive Producer Kristel Penn told XBIZ the ceremony is "penciled in at the Bardot [nightclub in Hollywood] in March."
"We don't know what format the show will take," Penn explained. "Right now, the options are a full live performance as usual, a show with vastly reduced attendance or an online-only show. This is out of our hands at this point, so we are proceeding as usual and opening up our pre-nominations anyway."
Pre-noms may be submitted at TheTEAShow.com. Only one submission per person will be accepted; a rep noted that attempts at spamming may result in disqualification.
“This year presents another issue in the gathering of nominations,” Penn continued. “Production has been mostly shut down for much of the year. There have barely been any new releases on DVD, many of the sites were on reduced schedules and some weren’t shooting at all. We are, however, eager to see the pre-nominations that come through this year so we can pare it down for our panel of judges.”
