LOS ANGELES, CA — The date has been locked in for the third annual F.A.M.E. (Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment) Awards Show.
Once again, the fans will vote on their favorites in adult via the world wide web and the winners will be announced as part of a star-studded event on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at 9:00 pm, on Erotica LA’s main stage at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
“While the AVN Awards measure the voices of the critics, the fans are the end user and it’s an honor for the stars and companies to be recognized for their achievements by them,” Paul Fishbein, President of AVN Media Network, stated about F.A.M.E. “This awards show has truly become an event that we feel all of the studios and stars of our industry look forward to year after year, and we look forward to co-producing it for them.”
The first round of voting, where fans select the finalists in each category, is scheduled to get underway on the F.A.M.E. website, www.thefameawards.com on March 3rd, with the final voting round slated to begin on April 21st.
Well over 100,000 votes were cast for last year’s contest, and this year’s edition should surpass those numbers.
“We couldn’t be happier or more proud on how this show has grown in such a short amount of time,” Dan Davis, Editor-in-Chief of Genesis Magazine and F.A.M.E. Spokesman said. “We were extremely proud of the record number of voters for last year’s show, and the event itself was a much bigger affair. We couldn’t do this without the support of the fans, stars or studios, and we hope to make this year’s show bigger and better.”
The F.A.M.E. Awards were created in 2006 by industry leaders Genesis Magazine www.genesismagazine.com , Adam & Eve www.adameve.com , WantedList.com and AVN.com as a way for fans to honor their favorite adult film stars, directors, movies and companies.
It is the first show where the fans take part in the entire process —from choosing the finalists to ultimately selecting the winners in over a dozen categories. The awards show is slated to take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center as part of Erotica LA. Admission to the 2008 F.A.M.E. Awards is free with admission to Erotica LA, and information on tickets for the convention can be found at www.erotica-la.com.
