AVN Media Network, organizers of the annual AVN Awards, announced recently the launch of a Twitter-based casting call to find two new industry performers to serve as the coveted trophy girls during the 2014 AVN Awards. The awards take place at The Joint in Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas on Saturday, January 18, 2014.

To be considered, female talent must tweet their sexiest photos to the official AVN Awards Twitter account, @AVNAwards, and include the hashtag #AVNTrophyGirls. To be eligible, all candidates must have entered the adult industry in 2013. Submissions will be accepted until midnight October 25th. Two winners will be selected soon after.

The ceremonial trophy girls serve as a highly visible and prestigious assignment for rising stars within the industry. The duo is on stage for the duration of the awards show and featured prominently on the show’s cable broadcast. Hundreds of new performers submitted entries last year in the hopes of being named trophy girls for the 2013 AVN Awards. Response was so overwhelming, three performers were eventually chosen: Bonnie Rotten, Rikki Six, and Teal Conrad.

“We were simply amazed by the enthusiasm with which our casting call was received last year; our trophy girls were beyond amazing and have gone on to become big stars themselves,” said AVN CEO Theo Sapoutzis. “I am certain this year’s trophy girls will also impress and go on to represent our industry proudly. It will, as always, be difficult to choose among so many beautiful and bright young women, but it’s a task we look forward to.”

AEE showcased an incredible lineup of the biggest names the adult industry has to offer, the hottest adult stars from around the world, and a first look at the cutting-edge technology behind some of the most innovative sex toys and novelties on the market today, and in the future. For the first time in its history, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino hosted all facets of the expo, as well as the 2012 AVN Awards Show.

One of the largest adult tradeshows in the world, AEE brought together an exciting and unique experience for everyone within the adult entertainment industry. AEE trade registration included the AVN Novelty Expo (ANE), the industry’s leading B2B trade expo for pleasure products, the AEE Trade Show and for the first time, the AEE Fan Fest, giving fans never-before-seen access to the industry and its participants.

“This show was one of our best ever,” says Theo Sapoutzis, Chief Executive Officer for AVN. “We can’t thank The Hard Rock Hotel enough for their hospitality. The feedback we received from the fans and media was overwhelmingly positive and you could just feel the excitement each day.”

“I loved the fun energy of the expo!” says Joanna Angel, who cut the ribbon to begin the festivities. “I had a great time, and so did all the fans. We sold out of almost all of the DVD’s we brought, along with a lot of our T-shirts. The fans were happy, we were happy, and it was a good move for the expo. I look forward to being a part of it next year.”

Hard Rock was so much more manageable, the whole vibe was more relaxed, so it was actually fun to do business. I also loved having the AVN Awards Show in the same location. The Joint was a sick venue! Super impressive in scale, and the space helped to support an increased production value for the Awards Show. All-in-all, I think it was a smart move to change it up, because it gave us the sweet taste of something fresh.”

“This year’s AVN show at the Hard Rock was a huge success for Devil’s Film,” says Steve Volponi. “We had some serious traffic back at our meeting Suite, and nailed down a lot of business.
