BURBANK, Calif. — COTR took home three honors at the 2026 StorErotica Awards.

COTR was named Boutique Brand of the Year, while Shon McLean received the award for Account Executive of the Year. Together Vibes, one of COTR’s newest brands, was also honored as LGBTQIA+ Company of the Year.

The awards were presented Tuesday, July 14, during the ANME Founders Show at the Burbank Marriott Hotel.

“Receiving three awards in one evening is an incredible honor and a meaningful reflection of the people behind everything we do,” said COTR Founder and CEO Alicia Sinclair. “We are especially grateful to our retail and distribution partners, whose support allows us to continue creating thoughtful products, building inclusive brands and serving the industry with care. Seeing Shon recognized for the relationships she has built makes this moment even more special.”

McLean added, “I am deeply honored to receive this award and thankful to everyone who voted. The best part of my work is building genuine relationships and helping our partners find products and resources that work for their businesses. This recognition belongs to the entire COTR team and to the customers who trust us every day.”
