LOS ANGELES — XBiz has begun accepting nominations at XBizAwards.com for its 4th Annual XBiz Awards.

The event, slated for Nov. 17 at the Key Club on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Calif., honors the industry’s greatest achievers.

“With all the buzz surrounding this year’s red carpet awards show in Hollywood, we look forward to a night filled with live entertainment, industry celebs and one unforgettable awards ceremony," XBiz President Alec Helmy said.

The awards include Best Affiliate Program, Best Content Provider, and Best Webmaster Community, as well as new categories that focus on innovative entrepreneurial achievements and emerging industry trends.

After nominations conclude on Sept. 30, a panel of industry professionals will decide on the winners, who each will receive a crystal XBiz award.

The invitation-only event coincides with Webmaster Access West.

Earlier this year in Las Vegas, the 3rd Annual XBiz Awards honored 10 businesses before a packed house of adult webmasters. Honorary emcee Jim Holio and a full lineup of adult industry luminaries presented awards. There were more than 100 nominees.
