2023 XBIZ Europa Awards Categories Announced, Pre-Noms Now Open

LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce the categories for the 2023 XBIZ Europa Awards, the capstone event of XBIZ’s refreshed fall events series in Amsterdam.

To be nominated, companies must have a base of operations located within Europe (including the U.K.) and performers must reside in the continent — 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 July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

Industry members may submit pre-nominations via XBIZ.net. The final day for entries is June 30.

Relevant links to digital media, marketing material and/or website login information should be included in the comments field of entries.

This year marks the first time the XBIZ Europa Awards will be presented in a new city. The ceremony will cap off the Amsterdam debuts of XBIZ’s European events, which take place Sept. 10-13.
