2025 TEA Pre-Nominations Now Open

“Our pre-nomination process is an opportunity for performers and their fans to make their voices heard,” said TEA Executive Producer, Kristel Penn. “We accept pre-nomination submissions from studios directly and our voting process allows us to cast a wider net to ensure performers can put forth their best work to be included.”

In the announcement, the TEAs explained that to submit a qualifying pre-nomination for best scene and DVD categories, “content must be shot between November 1, 2023, and October 31, 2024.” For the TEA’s performer categories, nominated performers “must have appeared on a major website/DVD/release during the same eligibility period.”

The Trans Erotica Awards was conceived by Grooby, first as an online competition, and later expanded to an in-person event held in Hollywood. The two-day event now “proudly welcomes industry guests and stars from all over the world.”

The 2025 TEAs will be hosted on March 7 and 9, 2025, at the historic Avalon theater and its connecting property, the Bardot, in Hollywood, California. The two-night event includes the Official Pre-Party on March 7, 2025, and the Awards program on March 9. According to the pre-nomination announcement, entertainment for the event “will be announced in the coming months.”

The TEAs celebrates the accomplishments of the trans adult industry and is the only event of its kind. For more information, visit theTEAShow.com, follow the event on X (Twitter) at @TGEroticaAwards and on Instagram @the.TEAShow.com.
