The XMA Europa Awards

The 2026 XMA Europa Awards will be held in Amsterdam. The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 13. The XMA Awards, also known as XBIZ Awards, were renamed XMAs Awards from 2025 onwards. These awards are presented annually to recognize individuals, companies, performers, and products that contribute to the growth and success of adult films.

XBIZ publisher and founder Alec Helmy described the awards as originating from the industry's desire for an event that encompasses all aspects of the business, presents it professionally, and honors it with class. The awards have been compared to the Golden Globes in the international film and TV industry. Organized by the adult industry trade magazine XBIZ, the awards were first presented in 2003.

Award nominations are submitted by clients, and winners are determined by votes from XBIZ staff, industry colleagues, and participating organizations. Initially, the awards focused on recognizing achievements in the online adult industry. In recent years, video categories have been incorporated. As of 2014, the number of specific award categories had expanded to include over 150.
