YNOT EUROPE – HustlaBall Berlin, one of the preeminent circuit parties of the year, has opened online voting for its second annual adult industry awards.

“The nominations for the 2nd HustlaBall Awards are decided upon and published,” said Stephan Müller-Bardone, chief executive officer for parent company SMB-Berlin Events GmbH. “Now it’s up to the audience to vote for their favorites. The audience voting is on until Oct. 10. It is one of the three voting pillars and makes for a third of the decision about the award winners.”

As occurred for the inaugural presentation, winners will be determined by a combination of votes from a professional jury, a press jury and fans. Voting will take place at Voting.HustlaBall-Award.com from Sept. 15 through Oct. 10. A list of categories and nominees is available here.

Organizers also announced that AVN Hall of Fame director Chi Chi LaRue will emcee and DJ at several of the events scheduled to occur during HustlaBall’s weekend-long party. LaRue appeared at HustlaBall in 2003 and 2007 and “made our VIP lounge boil,” Müller-Bardone said.

LaRue, a co-founder of American gay porn studio Channel 1 Releasing, has directed adult productions for more than 20 years and is famous worldwide for her drag diva DJ persona.

HustlaBall will take place Oct. 21-25 in Berlin. For more information, visit HustlaBall.de.
