Fantastic… amazing… wonderful… epic… all those descriptions work when recapping the 2026 NightMoves Elite Entertainer Contest that took place Sunday evening July 12 at Hush Gentlemen’s Club, 3260 W. Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa, Florida.

There were twelve contestants that battled for over $2000 in cash and prizes. The presenting sponsor was Todd Couples Superstore who not only provided cash but a huge gift basket to the winner along with gift cards for the top three finishers. Other sponsors included Bare Assets, The Red Room and Continental Agency.

The contest was open to any LOCAL Tampa Bay entertainer who has never been paid as a feature act. NightMoves wanted to give back to the community and reward the entertainers who work hard every day in area nightclubs.
Contestants represented seven different clubs and the acts were something to see! Big thank you to our judges Dave from The Todd, our first Elite Winner Bunny Bambina, Tim from Continental Theatrical Agency and touring Feature Showgirl, Koyotee J VonDiva. Also in the room was Karma from The Red Room, last year’s winner!

The overall winner was Sosa who represented Allure Gentlemen’s Club in Hudson

Chloe from the Red Room in New Port Richey was the first runner-up

Charlotte Webb also from the Red Room was the second runner-up

Best Pole Trick winner was Starr from Thee Doll House in Tampa

Best Sex Appeal winner was Ceydie from The Red Room

Best Costume & Creativity Award went to Ms. Jayme West from Hush Gentlemen’s Club in Tampa.

We now enter the voting period for the 34th Annual NightMoves Awards (July 15 thru Sept. 1).
