JOEYANDCARLO.COM ANNOUNCE THE GAY ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS
The first annual Gay Entertainment Awards (GEA's) are coming to The Palace in
Hollywood, California on December 13th. Online voting starts today!
(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- This December a brand-new awards extravaganza, the first
annual Gay Entertainment Awards (GEA's), will honor the best and brightest
among gay erotic videos, erotic artists and magazines, gay strip clubs and
the hottest gay adult Web sites. Joey Di Bartolo and Carlo Ricci of Joey and
Carlo Productions are producing the show.
"We want to bring more focus to individuals in the entire business of gay
erotica," says Di Bartolo. "The GEA's will not only honor the adult video
industry but will also include categories for strip clubs, Web sites, gay
resorts, erotic artists, go-go boys and much more." Di Bartolo and Ricci's
JoeyandCarlo.com have hosted the MaleEscortAwards.com site for two years and
felt the time was right to expand the awards to include a show and additional
categories.
The industry and fans alike will decide both the GEA nominees and winners.
The nominations process will take place at the official GEA site at
www.gayentertainmentawards.com. Nominations will be accepted starting today,
April 10, 2002. The nominees will be tallied and posted on the site for the
final round of voting on October 10, 2002.
The GEA winners will be revealed on Friday, December 13, 2002 at the Palace
nightclub in Hollywood, California. During the show, a special Industry
Achievement Award will be presented to photographer Greg Lenzman (a.k.a.
"Mocha") in recognition of his 25-plus years of dedication to the gay adult
industry.
