ST PETERSBURG, FL—The nomination period for the 2019 Fetish Awards has concluded, and its promoter Genesis Lynn has announced the list of nominees and opened the voting for the 4th Annual Fetish Awards. Hosted once again by Anastasia Pierce and Jewell Marceau, the 2019 Fetish Awards will be held Sunday, August 11, in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The Fetish Awards highlight and honor those who have been integral to the overall growth of the fetish and alternative adult industry. Whether they are a model or an actor, a producer or a production company, an artist, a live stage performer or web cam model, a fetish/alternative clothing company or an adult toy/novelty company, organizers invited the public to nominate their favorites. The Fetish Awards is presented by Chaturbate as the Exclusive Presenting Sponsor. The popular cam platform has been the annual award show’s official sponsor since its inception.

“The Fetish Awards has seen a big increase in participation by fans and industry members this year, with over 6,000 votes already cast in under a week,” noted event promoter Genesis Lynn. “Our inaugural pre-nomination process was a flurry of activity, producing an exciting list of nominees this year, which has led to major excitement as voting begins. So many people are taking part in shining a spotlight on their fetish favorites this year, and it’s fantastic! As with every year, we can’t wait to announce the award winners, all of which were nominated and voted for by their fans and industry peers. We’ve added three new categories, and have expanded both the show and after-party with exciting live entertainment, to make the entire night one to remember!”
