StorErotica Announces Nominees For 10th Annual Awards Ceremony

CLEARWATER, Fla.—StorErotica Magazine has announced the nominees for the 10th Annual StorErotica Awards, which will take place Monday, July 18, during the ANME Founders Show. Returning for her third time as awards hostess will be Kelly Shibari. “I’m so honored to be asked to host the StorErotica Awards for the third year in a row,” Shibari said. “The show is a blast, and I love celebrating the companies and people who shape the pleasure products industry. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again, and promise another fun, fast-paced show!” The final ballot for the SE Awards will launch for voting on Wednesday, May 11. Votes will be accepted at StoreroticaAwards.com starting that day, and the site will accept votes until Monday, May 23. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the StorErotica Awards have revered those in both the brick-and-mortar storefront, distributing, and manufacturing levels.  In celebration of 10 years of StorErotica Awards, and as a reflection of both the industry’s and the magazine’s evolution, seven new categories have been introduced for the 2016 submission season, including:  Brand Ambassador of the Year; New Product of the Year (International); Luxury Line of the Year; LGBT Company of the Year; Adult Game/Gag Gift of the Year; BDSM Product of the Year; and Retailer Favorite of the Year. This brings the grand total of SE Award categories to an even 20. “Each year we joke about being the fastest awards show in the industry,” said StorErotica’s PR Manager, Kristofer Kay. “That’s been our blessing and our curse, really, but being that this is our tenth year we felt like expanding the ceremony to emulate the dynamic growth of our industry. The world of erotic retail is constantly evolving to adapt to new clientele, and our awards will always strive to match this evolution. StorErotica is honored to distinguish those professionals and brands who contribute to the overall vitality of the adult retail community.” All ANME attendees and exhibitors are invited to join in for food and drinks at the StorErotica Award Show. “From our first StorErotica Awards Show 10 years ago at one of the largest adult entertainment facilities in the country—Sapphire in Las Vegas—to our new home at the ANME Founders Show, it’s always been our pleasure to honor the pleasure products industry,” said Kay.  “We’re very grateful to ANME Director Valerie Jones, her team and, of course, the Founders, for giving StorErotica such a grand stage to present our awards and to honor the best that our industry has to offer.”  For more information, visit StorErotica.com, email SE’s Kristofer Kay at kris@storerotica.com or call (727) 723-8827.   Nominees are:    Pleasure Product Company of the Year CalExotics  Curve Novelties  Doc Johnson  Lovehoney Nasstoys  Pipedream Products  Shots America  Sportsheets  The Screaming O  XR Brands   Distributor of the Year East Coast News   Eldorado Trading Co.  Entrenue  Holiday Products Honey’s Place  Komar  Metro Distribution  Mike’s WorldWide International  Sex Toy Distributing  Williams Trading Co.   Lubricant Company of the Year ID Lubes  Intimate Earth  Nature Labs  pjur USA  Spunk  Sliquid  System Jo  Swiss Navy  Wet Wicked Sensual Care   New Product of the Year BlueMotion Nex2 by OhMiBod  Nova by We-Vibe  Rimming Plug by b-Vibe  Rumble by Tantus  Surrenda Oral Vibe by Nasstoys  The Launchpad by Fleshlight  The Magic Wand Rechargeable by Vibratex Tryst by Doc Johnson  Wanachi Mega Massager by Pipedream Products  Womanizer Pro W-500   Fetish Company of the Year CB-X Dr. Clockwork E-Stim Systems  Pipedream Products (for Fetish Fantasy Series)  Rapture Novelties   Spartacus Leather  Sportsheets Intl.  The Stockroom  TSX Toys  XR Brands   Foreign Manufacturer of the Year FunToys JoyDivision  Lelo Lovehoney  Nexus Nobu International  Rocks Off  Shots  Shunga Erotic Art  ST Rubber   Sexual Enhancement Company of the Year Bathmate (for Max Out serum)  BeaMonstar   Eroforte Pound International  Rhino 7 Male Enhancement  Rock-On Senusva Shunga Erotic Art  System Jo Supplement Range The Screaming O (for Dynamo Delay Spray)   Marketing Campaign of the Year CalExotics "The CalExotics Institute" Doc Johnson "Ask The Doc Consumer Educational Marketing Program"  Eldorado "Elevate Your Business"  Lelo "Beyond the Wave" LoveHoney "Motörhead: The Official Pleasure Collection" Sir Richard "Condoms RED Campaign" Shots America "Vive" Sportsheets "Manbound" The Screaming O "Obob" The Semenette "Pop"   Male Pleasure Product of the Year All Star Porn Stars/Dani Daniels Pussy With Bush And Ass by Doc Johnson Bull Bag Buzz by Perfect Fit Brand Everlast Series by Sportsheets  Extreme Toyz Fuck Me Silly Bubble Butt by Pipedream Products Hydromax Xtreme X40 by Bathmate Mack Tuff Bendable Anal Rod by Nasstoys  Quickshot by Fleshlight Rechargeable Stamina Pump by CalExotics  Rise by Rocks Off  Rooster by Curve Novelties   Body Care Line/Range of the Year Bijoux Indiscrets (Love Cosmetics) Classic Erotica (Crazy Girl Line) Doc Johnson (Candiland Sensuals Weekend Affaire Kit) Earthly Body  Eye of Love  Intimate Earth  Kama Sutra (Massage Body Lotion)  Shunga Erotica Art  Sliquid (The Balance Collection) System Jo (Dona)   LGBT Company of the Year Berman Innovations  Channel 1 Releasing  Malestation  Perfect Fit Brand  PHS International  Oxballs  RodeoH Spareparts Hardwear  Sportsheets Intl.  Swiss Navy   Brand Ambassador of the Year Kim Airs, Impulse Novelties  Conde Aumann, The Screaming O  Kerin De Francis, Doc Johnson  Ducky Doolittle, Komar Distribution   Brian Dunham, OhMiBod Jaiya, Sexologist/Expert Sexpert at CalExotics  Michael Merrill, PHS International  Margaux O’Donoghue, Swiss Navy/MD Science Lab  Eddie Romero, Vibratex  Tony Sicillia, Nasstoys   Boutique Brand of the Year Blush Novelties  Cloud 9 Novelties  Dame Products  JimmyJane Jopen  Novel Creations   OhMiBod Tantus  Vibratex  We-Vibe   Luxury Line/Range of the Year Coco de Mer  Crave  Kiiro (Onyx) Lelo Mystim (The Black Edition) OhMiBod (Lovelife)  Revel Body  Sportsheets (Sexperiments) Svakom  The Rabbit Company   Adult Game/Gag Gift Manufacturer of the Year Ball and Chain  Creative Conceptions  Game of Sex  Hott Products  Kheper Games  Little Genie Productions  OMG International  Pipedream Products  Smart Alex  Vash Designs   BDSM Product of the Year 2B by E-Stim Systems  Dave Navarro The Strap by The Stockroom Edge Dragon Whip by Sportsheets  Fetish Fantasy Gold by Pipedream Products Fifty Shades of Grey Keep Still Over the Bed Cross Restraint by LoveHoney  Magnifique Whip by Bijoux Indiscreets  Master Series by XR Brands  Ouch!
