LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce the categories for the 2024 XBIZ Europa Awards, the capstone event of XBIZ 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, 2023 and June 30, 2024.

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 for each entry.
