Organized by the adult industry trade magazine XBIZ, [4] the awards were first given in 2003. [5] The award nominations are submitted by clients, and the winners are voted for by XBIZ staff, industry colleagues and participating organizations. [6] The awards were originally created to recognize achievement in the online adult industry, but, in recent years, video categories have been added. [7]
The XBIZ Awards in the adult film industry have been compared to the Golden Globes in the mainstream film industry. [8] The 2010 XBIZ Awards were held in at the Avalon in Hollywood. [8]
As of 2014, the number of specific award categories has expanded over the years to include more than 150 award categories. [2] The award winners listed below are mostly for major award categories, but a more comprehensive listing of past award winners may be found in the "External links" section.
