7th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards Nominees Announced

BURBANK, Calif. — Nominees for the Seventh Annual Transgender Erotica Awards were announced online this past week.

A complete list of categories and nominees can be found at TheTEAShow.com.  

According to Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby, they received upwards of 700 suggestions for nominations from fans and members of the industry.

"It's always the hardest job of our year to decide who makes the shortlist, and although we can never make everyone happy, I think we've got the most deserved nominees," Steven Grooby said. "The reaction on our social media has been tremendous as models and fans get ready for their biggest show of the year, even though it's still four months away.”

He added that the event is still seeking a few sponsors, underscoring that the two-day show reaches a targeted demographic.

In the following month, a panel of judges made up from industry and fans will review nominated scenes and material.

Winners for all categories, including fan voted awards, will be announced live on Feb. 15 at the Avalon in Hollywood, Calif.

An after party will be held on Feb. 16 at the Avalon’s connecting property, the Bardot.

Pre-sale tickets and sponsorship information can be found at TheTEAShow.com.
