Now is also the time for those who wish to attend the posh awards ceremony to RSVP, Kopita said. “People need to contact me if they want to enjoy hors d’oeurves, dinner, drinks, and entertainment with prime viewing from the comfort of a table on the main floor, as the venue is about 75-percent sold out of dining space,” he said. “Main floor entry is only allowed to people who have reserved tables, sponsors and guests of people who have tables. There will be a limited amount of standing-room-only space in the balcony for those who want to enjoy the Brouci band and cheer on their friends during the ceremony. Balcony admission will be free, and a cash bar will be available." “Everything kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 23,” Kopita added. “People who want to show up for the awards show only will be directed to the balcony. The awards show will begin around 8:30 p.m.” The 2014 YNOT Awards are presented by fncash.com and its flagship website, Fleshlight.

Kopita expects to announce the 2014 YNOT Award nominees Aug. 11. Online voting will open the same day. The first YNOT Awards established a new tradition by encouraging industry members, not a panel of judges, to determine the winners from among their peers. That practice, Kopita said, will never change. For more information, visit YNOTawards.com or email Kopita.
