Following the conclusion of the 2020 Day Babes Award and 2020 Night Babes Award yesterday I'm commenting here about them to see what we can learn for the benefit of running future
competitions.
In the process I'm replying to two comments in that thread
The videos told us that the UK Adult Awards 2020 were 'in association with UK Babe Channels' Whilst this forum
wasn't mentioned specifically, the voting happened here.
On the 21st of September Admin
set the scene by reminding us that awards had been won since 2005 but that the babe channels only got a look in these last two years.
In past years a dozen or more awards were won but because of the virus
this year only a few were possible including those of the babe's.
A week or two later we learned that the industry people involved were in fact different
from last year's but that fortunately there were no complications.
Nominations and voting followed without a hitch and then there was a pause. After a few days we were told the day and there was some uncertainty about when, where and how. Then suddenly two AMAZINGLY professional videos appeared!!!
To me rather than being organised for dramatic purposes this is the work of two individuals trying to work together on something in their spare time where their only connection is through social media, emails, dm's on Whatsapp and all the improvements that we have in comparison to the bad old days when something was organised on the 'phone or over a pint. And lockdown didn't help.
We might ask whether it was worth it given that we run internal polls so well and that brings us to the second comment.
OK so the word is deflated. A very good choice.
Up until this afternoon five reactions have been posted where babe's have commented on their social media, so far I've seen no mention of those awards in the Adult Awards twitter.
There's some apathy, we see that in the channels, we see it with the babe's. It's not a respected job.
Another point is that some of our babes don't like 'The Forum' at all. Trawl back through our pages and you can read about it. They don't like that we post their pictures or moan about their work which is one reason why so many have set up their own little club where they can control everything.
Those that responded were mostly new girls.
However there are two AMAZINGLY professional videos with a set of terrific nominations and a countdown worthy of the fight for a Christmas number one and the forum
did it. It's been the only game in town and next year when UKAP or The Adult Awards are all fired up booking a swanky venue and going all media I'd think that they will remember what we've done for them in lockdown and won't go looking for a different forum or group to do their voting but will want us again and the response will be larger irrespective of the opinions of some of the older babes.
So that's why I think that all that Whatsapping and tooing and froing IS worthwhile even if it appeared a bit iffy for reasons beyond our control a couple of times and that awards should go external again next year.
