XMA Europe Awards Overview
The 2026 XMA Europe Awards are scheduled for Sunday, September 13, in Amsterdam. This event will conclude a series of industry gatherings, including the XBIZ Amsterdam conference and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam. Amirah Adara and Ella Hughes are set to co-host the 2026 XMA Europe Awards.
XBIZ announced the nominees for the 2026 XMA Europe Awards on August 1, 2026. The awards, presented by Fansly, recognize 980 nominees across 62 categories. Industry members were able to cast their votes on XBIZ.net for all award categories starting Wednesday, August 5.
The XBIZ Awards, renamed XMAs Awards from 2025 onwards, are presented annually. They honor 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 business facets, presents them professionally, and honors them with class. The awards have been compared to the international film and TV industry's Golden Globes.
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 recognized achievements in the online adult industry, but video categories have been added in recent years. As of 2014, the number of specific award categories had expanded to include over 150.
