THE NIGHTMOVES VOTING SEASON IS UPON US!!

Voting for the 2026 NightMoves Awards will open on July 15 and last until September 1st. As usual, we will have local Tampa Bay area categories as well as national categories for adult films, stars and feature entertainers.

This will be our 34th annual show and we will once again have local categories for Pinellas, Hillsborough & Pasco Counties. NightMoves was the first adult awards show to let fans vote for their favorites and the first to use the internet for voting. Fan voting will account for 60% of the winners and NightMoves will make up the remaining 40%.

We will once again have the $5,000 Showgirl Invitational Contest that will take place Sunday evening October 11th at The Stockyard in Holiday, Florida! We have held our show at country venues in the past (Dallas Bull & The Round Up) and they have been great! This will be our first show ever in Pasco County and it will be something special!

The Stockyard has a 73 foot bar and two side bars (you will always be able to get a drink) … a huge parking lot … an amazing light & sound system… there will be space for VIP tables and general admission… and our stage area will guarantee everybody a great seat!

We will have tables and tickets on sale next month but make sure you circle Sunday evening October 11 on your calendar and get ready for one hell of a night at The Stockyard!

Our weekend starts on Wednesday October 7th (click to see the complete schedule and the List of Stars Appearing.) Keep reading NightMoves for more info as it becomes available! or visit NightMoves.xxx

ABOUT NIGHTMOVES: 

NightMoves Magazine started as an all sports publication in 1986. Paul Allen knew that Tampa Bay was getting ready to explode in many ways. Sports wise the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the only game in town and they were just starting to play respectable football (The Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay Lightning and South Florida NCAA football did not exist). He saw all thousands of transplants from Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania and they all were searching for sports news from their home town teams. The internet wasn’t there and that’s when “Sports South Magazine” was born. Paul started selling ads and thought, “Men like sports, what else do men like?” The answer to that question was adult entertainment and once he started adding adult clubs to his sports magazine the transition was amazing. Almost overnight “Sports South” changed into “NightMoves” and became a stand-alone publication in 1988!

In 1993 Paul wanted to do something to get the adult industry owners on the same page. At the time they all seemed to dislike each other and competition was the only thing they saw. We all know that the adult community needs to band together and fight for First Amendment rights, zoning laws, surtax charges and other legal battles that the industry seems to always be fighting. The industry is stronger as an united front. The first Awards Show was held in a non-adult nightclub named “Stingers” in Tampa and the weather was absolutely terrible with pouring rain, thunder, lighting and high winds. Paul was upset and ready to cry but … at 6:30pm, despite the weather, limousines started rolling up and people dressed in suits, tuxedos and evening gowns started filling the night club. The show was a huge success and the first time that all the owners of Tampa Bay adult clubs, video stores and lingerie shops were under the same roof celebrating the adult industry! The show was hosted by porn star Kelly O’Dell and super star Ron Jeremy (who attended the first 26 NightMoves Awards Shows). Ten local and two national awards were handed out that evening.

The NightMoves Awards are not just another adult awards show … it has a long and prestigious history and is the most unique gathering of adult performers anywhere. Today it’s not just a one night party … it is a four day adult escapade that includes visits to the top adult clubs in Central Florida, an extravagant Awards Show and the annual Showgirl Invitational Dance Contest. NightMoves is the oldest consecutively running adult awards show in the world!  Numerous stars have been a part of the NightMoves Awards and many received their “first ever” award from NightMoves. These include: Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Gina Lynn, Briana Banks, Sunny Lane, Jesse Jane, Bree Olson, Alexis Texas, Chanel Preston, Anikka Albrite, Keisha Grey, Carmen Luvana, Kenzie Taylor, Avi Love, Lacy Lennon and Blake Blossom (to name a few). We also gave Stormy Daniels her first Best Director Award.

NightMoves not only recognizes actors, actresses and directors but they also gave several movies their first awards including: Pirates I and II, Batman XXX Parody and Spiderman XXX, Unbridled, The Cursed XXX, The Submission of Emma Marx, The Possession of Mrs. Hyde, Love Emergency, Captain Marvel XXX and many others. Wicked Pictures has shot two, full length movies during the NightMoves Awards Weekend (directed by Stormy Daniels) and hundreds of other movies, videos and internet scenes have been shot during the awards show weekend.

The NightMoves Awards were the FIRST to have fans vote for their favorite stars, directors and movies and also the FIRST to use the internet for voting. Many categories that started with NightMoves have been adopted by other award shows. The NightMoves Awards are always cutting edge, trend setting, different, unique and an important part of the adult industry today. They have come a long way since that stormy evening back in 1993!!
