Get ready, Los Angeles! The temperature is set to rise this August as the nominations for the Urban X Awards 2025 have just dropped, and the list is sizzling with star power. Two of the industry’s most electrifying performers, September Reign and August Skye, have snagged major nominations, cementing their status as fan favorites and critical darlings.
The prestigious event, sponsored by Bad Dragon, is scheduled for Sunday, August 17th, at the iconic Regent Theater in L.A., and the excitement is already palpable across social media.
Two Queens, Two Major Nods
The nominations highlight the incredible talent and hard work of two performers who have dominated screens and captured imaginations this past year. September Reign earned a well-deserved nomination for Most Popular MILF Performer. Known for her magnetic presence and undeniable charisma, Reign has built a massive following by connecting with her fans on a personal level. Shortly after the announcement, she shared her excitement with her followers on X (formerly Twitter):
“Feeling so honored and grateful for the ‘Most Popular MILF’ nomination at the Urban X Awards! This is for every single one of you who has supported my journey. Your energy keeps me going!”

More Than Just an Awards Night
Since its inception in 2008, the Urban X Awards has carved out a crucial space in the adult industry. Its mission has always been to celebrate the diversity, creativity, and inclusion that often get overlooked by more mainstream award shows. It’s become one of the most anticipated nights of the year because it honors the artists who are truly pushing boundaries and redefining the landscape.
The awards ceremony is the grand finale of a three-day celebration. The festivities kick off with a sultry Lingerie Party on Friday, August 15th, followed by the glamorous All White Party on Saturday, August 16th. It’s a full weekend dedicated to celebrating the industry’s brightest stars and connecting with fans.
The nominee list is packed with other heavy-hitters, too, including a nod for the sensational Blake Blossom in the Best Actress category, proving that the competition this year is fiercer than ever.
A Reflection of a Changing Industry
These nominations do more than just recognize individual achievements; they reflect a major shift in the adult entertainment world. The rise of fan-centric platforms and creator-owned content has put the power back into the hands of performers like Reign and Skye. Awards that prioritize fan votes and recognize diverse talent are a direct result of this evolution.
As one industry analyst at XBIZ noted recently, “Events like the Urban X Awards are vital. They don’t just fill a gap; they lead the conversation on what a modern, inclusive, and artist-driven industry should look like.”
With the big night just a couple of months away, the buzz will only continue to grow. For these performers, a win isn’t just a trophy—it’s validation from the fans and peers who matter most.
“To be seen and celebrated by an organization that champions diversity is everything,” a sentiment often echoed by past winners. “It tells us our stories matter, our art matters, and we are an essential part of this industry’s future.”
Mark your calendars for August 17th—it’s going to be a night to remember!
