Voting for the 34th Annual NightMoves Awards will open on July 15 at 12 a.m. ET, with the ballot available at NightMoves.xxx. The awards ceremony, which includes national and local Tampa Bay-area categories, will culminate in a gala show on Sunday, October 11, at The Stockyard in Holiday, Florida.

The voting period for the 34th Annual NightMoves Awards runs from July 15 to September 1. Fans and industry members can cast votes for adult performers, directors, movies, and feature dancers in 20 national categories and 18 local categories. To be eligible for a NightMoves adult video award, a movie or individual performance must have been released between June 1, 2025, and June 1, 2026. The NightMoves Awards determine winners through a hybrid system, with 60% of the decision based on fan votes and 40% on selections from NightMoves judges. This system marks the NightMoves Awards as the first adult awards to incorporate widespread fan and internet voting.

Event Schedule and Locations

The 34th edition of the annual show is scheduled as a "wild weekend full of fun and excitement," beginning on Wednesday, October 7, with the Local Nomination Kick-Off Party. This event will be held at Silks Adult Entertainment in Palm Harbor, Florida. On Thursday, October 8, the first "Star Caravans," a long-standing feature of the NightMoves weekend, will visit The Red Room and Mons Venus clubs. Friday, October 9, will include travel to Bare Assets and an additional location yet to be determined. On Saturday, October 10, Silks Adult Entertainment and 2001 Odyssey are the featured stops for the caravans. The weekend will conclude with the gala awards show on Sunday evening, October 11, at The Stockyard in Holiday, Florida.

Paul Allen, owner of Nightmoves Multi-Media, Inc., stated that the event has a "huge national reach via our online voting, postings and recognition." He also noted that the "stars are a mix of adult film stars and touring feature entertainers." Allen highlighted the $5,000 Showgirl Invitational lineup, which includes Nia Nebula, Farley Lynn, Koyotee J. VonDiva, Phoenix Phires, Janine Jericho, Ginger WTFA, and Caitlin Baby.
