NEW YORK (February 27, 2024) – Pornhub, the world’s premier adult entertainment community, announced today the sixth annual Pornhub Awards, honoring the biggest and best performers in each of Pornhub’s unconventional categories, top channels and most popular networks. In recognition of the exceptional contributions of performers in the adult industry, Pornhub will reward all winners with generous cash prizes and continuing our relationship with Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) Behind Bars.

Pornhub will also commemorate the legacy of the late Cecilia Gentili, a pioneering trans activist and unwavering champion for the rights of sex workers, by posthumously presenting her with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Having previously worked in the industry, Cecilia devoted herself to combating the stigma and discrimination surrounding sex work, tirelessly working to secure their rights to safety, healthcare, and fair treatment. Along with the award, Pornhub will donate to an organization in her honor.

“In honoring Cecilia Gentili with the Lifetime Achievement Award, we celebrate her unwavering commitment to championing the rights of sex workers and marginalized communities," said Alexzandra Kekesi, Head of Community and Brand, Pornhub.

She leaves behind a legacy of empowerment and advocacy.”

Pornhub continues its supportive partnership with SWOP Behind Bars; a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of sex workers, victims of trafficking, and their communities with a focus on those currently incarcerated or seeking re-entry. The organization was selected by Pornhub to receive a donation based on the strength of their mission and dedication to advocacy for marginalized communities.

“Pornhub’s generous contribution will help sustain our ability to support sex workers and marginalized individuals entangled within the complexities of the criminal justice system,” said Blair Hopkins, Executive Director, SWOP Behind Bars.
