The winners will be announced March 28 in a gala awards ceremony at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. Sponsored by NakedSword, the awards show caps a three-day series of parties and events taking place March 26-28 in the city’s Castro district.

The 11th annual GAYVN Awards Show is dedicated to recognizing outstanding movies and talented individuals who have contributed to the advancement of the gay adult entertainment industry. Its broad-based, nation-wide panel of judges, predominantly gay-press-affiliated, has been awarding trophies for 21 years, making the GAYVN Awards the most respected and recognized awards in gay adult entertainment history. This year’s award show is sure to top that of the much talked about Kathy Griffin hosted event two years ago. The buzz being stired is mostly due to the three new celebrity hosts: Margaret Cho, Alec Mappa and the world’s first supermodel Janice Dickinson.
