2025 XMA Europa Awards Expand With New Creator Branch, Pre-Noms Now Open

LOS ANGELES — XMA organizers are pleased to announce the categories for the 2025 XMA Europa Awards, the capstone of XBIZ’s fall event series in Amsterdam.

In recognition of Europe’s booming creator economy, this year’s XMA Europas will debut a dedicated Creator branch featuring more than twice as many Streamer and Creator categories as in 2024, honoring excellence among trans, BBW, MILF, and cosplayer creators, as well as standout duos.

Additionally, the Movies & Production and Pleasure & Retail branches have expanded with new categories to better highlight the diversity shaping today’s European adult industry.

To be nominated, companies must have a base of operations located within Europe, and performers must reside there. Content shot in Europe qualifies regardless of the parent company’s home base. Additionally, movies, content, and pleasure products must be released between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, to be eligible for consideration.

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 with each entry.

The XMA Europa Awards ceremony will be held on Sept. 4, capping off XBIZ Amsterdam and XBIZ Retreat, which take place Sept. 2-5.
