LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce the categories for the 2021 XBIZ Europa Awards, which is set for a live worldwide broadcast on September 16 as the capstone event to the second virtual XBIZ Berlin conference.
To be nominated, companies must have a base of operations located within Europe and performers must reside in Europe — with the exception of “Global” categories, for which all companies are eligible. Content shot in Europe qualifies regardless of the parent company’s home base.
In order to be eligible for consideration for an XBIZ Europa Award, movies/content and pleasure products must be released between September 1, 2020 and July 31, 2021.
Industry members may submit pre-nominations via XBIZ.net. The final day for entries is July 31.
