BBW performers, supporters and sponsors packed the Fuso Nightclub in Las Vegas for the BBW Awards Show on Tuesday January 22.
Conveniently scheduled during the week of the Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) and the AVN Awards, the BBW Awards Show aims to showcase talented, hardworking individuals who contribute to the community and represent BBW performers who sometimes go unrecognized in mainstream porn events. All in all, it’s a fun, glamorous gathering of talented BBWs, other show-stopping performers and adoring fans.
We spoke to Miss Congeniality nominee LustyBustyLark, who told us about the amazing turnout of some of her favorite curvy performers and hot male talent.

It seems like every awards show has a different awards-granting process, so this is how the nominations and voting works for the BBW Awards. Every category in the BBW Awards Show is a write-in. When a write-in candidate gets more than 50 votes, they are officially nominated. The nominee with the most votes wins the award!
This year, awards were given in over 20 categories. New categories this year included Most Photogenic, Best New Starlet and Best Phone Sex Provider. Winners of the most sought-after awards include Veronica Vaughn (Cam Girl of the Year), Tisha Draven — who won three awards this year: Best Alt/Tattooed Starlet, Miss Congeniality and Femdom Queen of the Year — Shemeatress (Trans Performer of the Year) and Nirvana Lust (Best Premium Snapchat).
A full list of winners can be found here.
Sofia Rose took home four awards, including Humanitarian of the Year. The Humanitarian of the Year award came with a purse of $1,000, which the winner could donate to a charitable organization of their choice. Rose chose to donate to Pineapple Support, an emerging mental health support network for sex workers, gave an impassioned speech about mental health resources in the adult industry.
“Sofia Rose’s speech when she won Humanitarian brought me to tears as mental health support is something near and dear to my heart,” LustyBustyLark told us. She herself was happy to announce the SSBBW Performer of the Year Award, which went to Julie Ginger.

It looks like the 2nd annual BBW Awards Show was a success. After the awards, everyone is invited to BBW Strip Night. Porn performer and rapper Shaundam performed with fetish model Kassey Starr to kick off the afterparty. More than 20 BBW models signed up to dance in a star-studded friendly competition.
Voting for next year’s BBW Awards Show begins in May, and tickets will be available in July.
