In addition several members of the Rising Star PR roster will be presenting awards. Shy Love will present Web Host of the Year; Kagney will hand out Web Retailer of the Year; McKenzie Lee will give out the New Starlet of the Year and New Male Performer of the Year awards; and Lisa Ann will bestow New Studio of the Year honors

“It’s easily one of the biggest events of the year and we’re looking forward to an amazing night,” Rising Star founder Devan Cypher said. “We have some very serious contenders and we’ll be extremely surprised if a couple of them don’t go home with awards.
