Urban X Award

The Urban X Awards is a prestigious annual ceremony in the United States, dedicated to celebrating excellence in ethnic pornography. Established in two thousand eight by the visionary black adult film director Giana Taylor, the awards initially bore the name Urban Spice Awards. After a successful run, the event was last held in two thousand twelve before taking a five-year hiatus.

In two thousand seventeen, the Urban X Awards made a triumphant return, revitalizing its mission to honor the contributions of adult film stars, producers, directors, agencies, and companies that specialize in Black, Latin, Asian, and interracial adult content. This revival marked a significant moment in the industry, showcasing the diverse talents and narratives that often go unrecognized.

The awards are unique in that the winners are determined by fan votes cast on the award's official website, allowing audiences to have a direct say in who is celebrated each year. This interactive approach not only engages fans but also fosters a sense of community within the industry.
