VN Media Network has officially opened the Talent RSVP site for the 43rd annual AVN Awards, set to take place Saturday, January 24, 2026, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
All AVN Awards nominees and adult industry talent planning to attend must submit an RSVP through the Talent RSVP site to request an Awards Show Pass.
How Talent Can Receive a Complimentary AVN Awards Pass
To receive one complimentary Awards Show Pass, talent must be registered for an AVN Expo Trade Badge. Any legitimate adult talent who:
- Submits a complete RSVP by the deadline, and
- Secures an AVN Expo Trade Badge (before or upon arrival),
will be eligible for one complimentary Awards Show Pass.
RSVP Deadline and Approval Process
- RSVP Deadline: Sunday, January 4, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT
- RSVP approvals are confirmed by email sent to the address entered on the form.
- Your reservation is not complete until you receive a confirmation email.
Submitting an RSVP alone does not guarantee admission.
Bringing a Guest or Sitting With a Group
- Talent wishing to bring a non-talent guest must request a Companion Pass via the RSVP form.
- Performers planning to sit at a purchased table with a company or group should indicate this in the designated field.
- Approved Companion Pass requests will receive a follow-up email with purchase instructions.
Red Carpet Access: What to Know
RSVPs are only for Awards Show admission.
There is no application process for Red Carpet access. Credentials are granted case by case, and if approved, will be noted directly on the Awards Show Pass.
Important reminder: AVN Awards nominees are NOT automatically guaranteed a pass, and no individual invitations are sent. Each performer is personally responsible for submitting their RSVP.
Where and When to Pick Up Passes
Awards Show Passes will be distributed alongside AVN Expo Talent Badges at the Model Lounge in The Hideaway, beginning Tuesday, January 20, when Expo registration opens. Talent are encouraged to pick up passes as early as possible.
Missed the Deadline?
Talent who miss the January 4 RSVP deadline may still receive a pass based on availability, with priority given to nominees.
Key Reminder
An approved Awards Show RSVP does NOT include AVN Expo access. Talent must separately purchase or secure an AVN Expo Trade Badge through an exhibitor, agency, or studio in order to receive their Awards Show Pass.
