XMA Europe Awards and RussianQoS Nomination
The XMA Europe Awards, presented by XBIZ, are dedicated to honoring performers and productions within the adult industry across Europe. The 2026 ceremony will take place in Amsterdam and is described as the adult industry’s biggest night in Europe, spotlighting the continent’s stars, movies, and pleasure products. The awards emphasize fan-driven recognition, with pre-nominations contributing to the selection process.
RussianQoS expressed gratitude for the nomination, stating that "being nominated means a lot." Fan voting for the awards is currently open. The XMA Europe Awards serve as the grand finale to a series of industry events in Amsterdam, including the XBIZ Amsterdam conference and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam.
XBIZ and XMA Awards Background
The XBIZ Awards, rebranded as XMAs Awards from 2025 onward, 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 facets of the business, presenting it professionally and honoring it with class. The awards have been compared to the Golden Globes of the international film and TV industry.
Organized by the adult industry trade magazine XBIZ, the awards were first presented in 2003. Nominations are submitted by clients, and winners are determined by votes from XBIZ staff, industry colleagues, and participating organizations. Initially, the awards focused on achievements in the online adult industry, but video categories have been incorporated in recent years. As of 2014, the number of award categories had expanded to more than 150.
