XBIZ Awards, renamed as XMAs Awards from 2025 onwards,[4] are given annually to honor "individuals, companies, performers and products that play an essential part in the growth and success of adult films".[5] They have been described by XBIZ publisher and founder Alec Helmy as being "born out of the industry's desire for an awards event that not only encompasses all facets of the business but one which presents it in a professional light and honors it with class".[3] The awards have been likened to the international film and TV industry's Golden Globes.[6]

Organized by the adult industry trade magazine XBIZ,[7] the awards were first given in 2003.[8] The award nominations are submitted by clients, and the winners are voted for by XBIZ staff, industry colleagues and participating organizations.[9] The awards were originally created to recognize achievement in the online adult industry, but, in recent years, video categories have been added.[10]

As of 2014, the number of specific award categories has expanded over the years to include more than 150 award categories.[3] The award winners listed below are mostly for major award categories, but a more comprehensive listing of past award winners may be found in the "External links" section.
