Every award in this industry is handed out in Los Angeles. This one is not. The readers decide. Nominate the models, covers and moments that made the year — winners get the trophy treatment across a full feature in the annual issue, and every nominee gets named. Nominations are open now; voting opens once the shortlist is set.
The performer who owned the year — in SLITZ or anywhere. Featured SLITZ models carry the Real Standard; anyone can be nominated.
The SLITZ cover that stopped the scroll. One winner across all issues of the year.
The breakout — the newcomer or the unexpected moment everyone talked about.
Voted with the industry in mind: the photographer, director or crew member models most want to work with.
The toy, wearable or release our readers actually rated — brands: this is the shelf your buyers read.
The cam site, fan platform, studio or store that treated models and fans best this year. Nominated by the people who use them.
The ad, drop or launch the industry talked about — agencies and brands welcome to enter their own work.
The brand or business that backed the free magazine hardest. Decided by the editors, thanked in print.
Nominations open a ready-made email — tell us who and why, with a link. Self-nominations welcome (that’s half the fun). Categories are respectful by design: we celebrate work, we don’t rank bodies.
Each category can carry one sponsor — “Model of the Year, presented by…” — in the magazine, on this page, and in every announcement post.
Every other award in this industry ends with a room, a stage and a party — in Los Angeles. Asia has the performers, the studios and the platforms, and nowhere that puts them in the same room. We would like to change that, and we are not going to announce a date we cannot keep.
So this is an open call rather than an invitation. If you run a venue, promote nights, sponsor brands, handle production, or you are a studio or platform who would show up — tell us what you could bring and what you would want out of it. Models and creators: tell us what would make it worth your night.
No date, no venue, no ticket on sale — and there will not be until there is something real to announce.
